Coming soonA bacterial urinary tract infection is an inflammatory condition of the urinary system caused by the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, most commonly uropathogenic *Escherichia coli* and other enteric organisms.
While it can affect individuals of any age or sex, it occurs predominantly in females due to anatomical factors, as well as in older adults and patients with urinary tract instrumentation or structural abnormalities.
Pathophysiologically, the infection typically arises from the retrograde ascension of bacteria from the perineum into the urethra, progressing either locally to involve the bladder or ascending to the renal parenchyma.
Clinically, it is characterized by lower urinary tract symptoms—such as dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, and suprapubic discomfort—or upper tract manifestations, including fever, flank pain, and systemic illness.
