Pathogenic Bacteria Associated With Urinary Tract Infections

Abstract

UTIs, which are also commonly referred to as urinary tract infections, are a common and sometimes reoccurring infection that can range from happening on their own to posing a severe risk to the health of the patient. This condition is characterized by the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the urinary canal or strictures. This is the defining characteristic of the disorder. Not only is this a widespread source of illness and death, but it is also a substantial contributor to the development of antibiotic resistance. It is estimated that Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the most common forms of pathogenic bacteria that are responsible for urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections are a public health concern that can be caused by so many different types of bacteria that are considered to be harmful. Some individuals are of the opinion that the majority of the financial burden that these diseases generate can be attributed to the high incidence rates and novel drug resistance that have been created by uropathogenic bacteria. This is a hypothesis that has been proposed by someone.
