According to Liska & Mah (2018), women are at higher risk of getting cystitis (lower urinary tract infection) than men, and most of these women have recurrent UTIswithin a year even though they are healthy. The treatment approach of UTI is using antibiotics; however, this has been causing multidrug resistance among uropathogenic microorganisms (Akgul & Karakan, 2018). Womenwho experience recurrent UTIs and get treated with antibiotics repeatedly can develop resistance and affect their normal microbiome (Akgul & Karakan, 2018). As a result of increasing multidrug-resistant uropathogens, antibiotic-free protective approach such as takingprobiotic has been an alternative for some patientsThe urinary microbiomes studies show that the concentration of bacteria habiting in theurinary system is different according to sex and method of urine collection. In the study of urinary microbiomes,
