Rapid developments in infection biology create new and exciting options for
individualized diagnostics and therapy. Such new practices are needed to improve
patient survival and reduce morbidity. Molecular determinants of host resistance
to infection are being characterized, making it possible to identify susceptible
individuals and to predict their risk for future morbidity. Immunotherapy is
emerging as a new strategy to treat infections worldwide and controlled boosting
of the host immune defense represents an important therapeutic alternative to
antibiotics. In proof of concept studies, we have demonstrated that this approach
is feasible. The long-term goal is not just to remove the pathogens but to also
develop technologies that restore resistance to infection in disease-prone
patients and devise personalized therapeutic interventions. Here, we discuss some
approaches to reaching these goals, in patients with urinary tract infection
(UTI). We describe critical host signaling pathways that define symptoms and
pathology and the genetic control of innate immune responses that balance
protection against tissue damage. For some of these genes, human relevance has
been documented in clinical studies, identifying them as potential targets for
immune-modulatory therapies, as a complement to antibiotics.
