new bacteria?
My mother and I have both experiencing symptoms that highly resemble infections in the urinary tract. I had been convinced for a while that I had a kidney infection due to swelling, discomfort while urinating, and general pain. However, when we were finally able to go to the free clinic as we do not have any medical help we were told that our urine was clean. I have been dealing with kidney disorder my whole life and know the symptoms and have been in pain for a long while. Point is, I wonder if there could now be a new breed of bacteria that is starting to cause infections as we are not the only people I know who felt they had infections but were told that was not the case and the dr's did not know what to do.
If there were a new breed it is possible the tests they do and equipment they use may not be designed to detect this new strain.
just something to research and ponder.

Nah, I'm not a doctor.
As far as I know, it's nearly impossible to "create" new bacterias in this situation.
See you.

Why do you think there could not be new bacterias? Perhaps you know more than I do (I hope you do actually), but I do know that bacteria reproduce very quickly, and if there is one small change in the DNA it can turn into a new strain.
