<p>Letter to Editor:  We identify that children with a history of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) with low deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 (<em>DMBT1</em>) DNA copy number have ∼4‐fold higher odds of recurrent UTIs compared to those with high <em>DMBT1</em> DNA copy number. With bacterial resistance to antibiotics increasing, we need to develop new strategies to guide judicious use of antibiotics such as using the patient's genetic profile.</p>
