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 (DMBT1) DNA copy number have ∼4‐fold higher odds of recurrent UTIs compared to those with high DMBT1 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.
