1. What is the most common UTI
bacterial infection?
2. What group of people are women due to anatomical differences
more effected from UTIs?
shorter ureter --> less distance for bacteria to travel
3. Areas/ types of Upper UTIs Renal parenchyma (pyelonephritis)
Ureters (ureteritis)
4. Areas/ types of Lower UTIs Bladder (cysitis)
Urethra (urethritis)
Prostate (prostitis)
5. What is pyelonephritis? A bacterial infection of the kidneys
6. Classification of UTIs Complicated versus uncomplicated
7. Complicated UTIs Complicated UTIs are caused by structural abnormalities/ in-
dewelling cathaters
8. Uncomplicated UTIs community acquired infection; common in young women and not
usually recurrent
9. Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Significant isolation of bacteria from urine
(ASB)
10. Characteristics of the Uri- Extremely high osmolarity
nary System Low pH (acidic)
Very dilute urine fails to grow most bacteria.
Men have prostatic fluid that is inhibitory.
Urine flow has a wash-out effect.

crease in UTIs due to.... ence
15. What are other causes of Renal transplant
UTIs? - Immunosuppression, foreign bodies
Bladder catheterization
- colonization due to indwelling catheters
16. Signs in symptoms of UTI in Failure to thrive, vomiting, lethargy, fever
neonates

cause UTIs -(in women, shorter ureter, easy introduction via sexual inter-
course)
Hematogenous route -(blood)
Lymphatic pathways
22. What pathogen is the main E. coli
cause of UTIs?
23. Gram negative bacillis caus- Escherichia coli
ing UTIs
Hospitalization and catheterization can cause UTIs from:
Pseudomonas, Proteus, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, and Enterobac-
ter spp.
24. Gram-positive coccis that Group B streptococci
cause UTIs
Enterococci
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Staphylococcus epidermidis
