        abstract = {Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are one of the most frequently diagnosed bacterial infections, affecting people of all ages, genders, and regions worldwide. They pose a significant public health challenge, particularly in women, where recurrent infections are common. These infections occur when pathogens, most commonly Escherichia coli (E. coli), colonize the urinary tract, leading to symptoms like pain, frequent urination, and discomfort. The standard treatment approach has been antibiotics, but the growing concern of antibiotic resistance complicates the management of UTIs. To address these challenges, research has shifted towards innovative solutions such as targeted drug delivery systems. Nanomedicine employs advanced carriers, such as liposomes, nanoparticles, dendrimers, and hydrogels, to encapsulate and deliver drugs effectively. These carriers protect the active drug from premature degradation, improve its absorption, and sustain its release at the infection site. Such innovations not only enhance treatment outcomes but also reduce the frequency of recurrent infections. With continued development, targeted drug delivery systems hold the potential to revolutionize UTI management, providing safer and more effective therapeutic options.},
