Urinary Tract Infectionsm m




Urinary tract infections (UTI) are commonly seen in clinical practice.
m m m m m m m m m




m Bacteria from the gut can invade the urinary epithelium to cause
m m m m m m m m m m




m inflammation and infection anywhere along the urinary tract such as
m m m m m m m m m

, the urethra, bladder, ureter, or kidney. Some individuals are
m m m m m m m m




m predisposed to developing a UTI. It is more common for women to
m m m m m m m m m m m




m develop a UTI especially when pregnant, sexually active, during post-
m m m m m m m m m




m menopause with estrogen-deficiency and when being treated with
m m m m m m m




m antibiotics where the normal bacteria flora is diminished. Although less
m m m m m m m m m




m common, men may develop a lower UTI. An upper UTI is less common
m m m m m m m m m m m m




m in men due to the longer urethra and ureter structures that make it
m m m m m m m m m m m m




m more difficult for bacteria to reach the kidney. An indwelling urinary
m m m m m m m m m m




m catheter can also contribute the development of a UTI. Finally,

UTI Risk Factors
m m




There are several risk factors that predispose individuals to the
m m m m m m m m m




m development of a UTI. For women, pregnancy is a risk factor. During
m m m m m m m m m m m




m pregnancy, progesterone relaxes smooth muscle that causes stasis of
m m m m m m m m




m urine, allowing the bacteria to colonize. Also, the female ureter is
m m m m m m m m m m




m shorter and allows for the entrance of bacteria into the urethra.
m m m m m m m m m m




Post-menopausal women are also at risk for developing a UTI. The lack m m m m m m m m m m m




m of estrogen results in vaginal and urethral dryness that promotes an
m m m m m m m m m m




m environment for bacteria to grow. Sexual intercourse also contributes
