Staphylococcus aureus complicated UTI

A *Staphylococcus aureus* complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary tract caused by the Gram-positive bacterium *Staphylococcus aureus* that occurs in the presence of factors predisposing to increased risk of therapy failure or serious complications Clinically, it manifests with dysuria, fever, flank pain, or systemic signs of sepsis, and carries a high propensity for invasive complications such as renal abscesses and persistent secondary bacteremia

Unlike uncomplicated ascending UTIs typically caused by Gram-negative enterobacteria, this condition predominantly affects hospitalized, catheterized, or immunocompromised patients, as well as individuals with anatomical or functional urologic abnormalities Pathophysiologically, the organism may establish infection through instrumentation and biofilm formation on indwelling catheters, or secondary to hematogenous seeding from bacteremia elsewhere in the body
