This study addresses the Testing Facility Location with Constrained Queue Time Problem. This optimization problem focuses on determining the best places to deploy testing sites and their available testers for infectious diseases, while constraining the maximum time in the queue with a given probability. An integer programming model is introduced and applied to the three biggest counties, in terms of population, of Florida, United States. Moreover, the Monte Carlo method is used to evaluate the model's output, aiming to check if the queueing time constraint is being satisfied. Through the experiments, a testing facility deployment plan can be determined for each county and further validated by the simulation. The results show that the solutions returned by the model behaved successfully when submitted to the Monte Carlo method, not exceeding the time in the queue in more than the predefined probability.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant global health concern, affecting millions worldwide, with particular prevalence among specific vulnerable populations. Women of sexually active age, post-menopausal women, pregnant women, individuals with diabetes, catheterized patients, childs and older indivisuals face heightened risk due to various physiological, hormonal, and anatomical factors. While anatomical abnormalities and behavioral factors contribute to UTI susceptibility, the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance has necessitated exploration of alternative treatment approaches. Non-antibiotic interventions, including probiotics, cranberry products, and natural remedies, are gaining attention for their potential role in UTI prevention and management. Recent studies suggest the efficacy of probiotics and plant extracts in promoting urinary tract health and preventing bacterial colonization. Additionally, research highlights the importance of dietary factors, such as vitamin D and probiotic intake, in reducing UTI susceptibility. This review examines the emerging shift toward non-drug strategies, offering a more comprehensive approach to UTI management while addressing the pressing concern of antibiotic resistance.
