Complicated UTI with Pseudomonas aeruginosa

A complicated urinary tract infection with *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* is an infection of the upper or lower urinary tract occurring in individuals with predisposing factors such as structural abnormalities, urinary tract obstruction, indwelling catheters, instrumentation, or systemic immunocompromise Patients frequently present with typical lower urinary tract symptoms, fever, flank pain, or signs of urosepsis, and they face a heightened risk of treatment failure, tissue invasion, and recurrent di...

Pathophysiologically, the condition is driven by the opportunistic, Gram-negative bacillus *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, which utilizes virulence mechanisms including biofilm formation, motility, and intrinsic or acquired resistance mechanisms to colonize altered urothelium and implanted devices Patients frequently present with typical lower urinary tract symptoms, fever, flank pain, or signs of urosepsis, and they face a heightened risk of treatment failure, tissue invasion, and recurrent disease
