- A urinary tract infection is the result of an interaction between the bacterium and the host (patient). Virulent (aggressive) bacteria are able to overcome normal host defence mechanisms. Less virulent bacteria can lead to significant infections in patients with abnormal urinary tracts or compromised immunity.

- A urinary tract infection (UTI) can occur in any part of the urinary tract. Bacteria cause the vast majority of UTIs. Fungi or viruses can also cause UTIs. UTIs are the second most common type of infection in humans.

The Presence of Bacteria in a Urinalysis Sample Common Bacteria Found in UTIs. One of the most common bacteria in urinalysis is Escherichia coli, better known as E. coli. E coli is one of the most predominant bacteria in the colon that can cause a UTI. Most urinary tract infections begins with a single bacteria making its way into the urethra and beginning to grow and multiply. A bacterial infection in the urethra is called urethritis.

What's to know about urinary tract infections? Urinary tract infections are caused when microbes manage to get past the body's natural defenses. The vast majority of UTI cases are caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli), usually found in the digestive system. Chlamydia and Mycoplasma bacteria can infect the urethra but not the bladder. People of any age and sex can develop a UTI; however, some people are more at risk than others.

Home Remedies for Urinary Tract Infections UTIs mainly occur in women and affect the urethra and bladder. The most common types of UTIs are: 1  Cystitis (infection of the bladder): This UTI is generally caused by E. coli, which is a type of bacteria normally found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI). 2  Urethritis (infection of the urethra): This typically occurs when GI bacteria spreads from the anus to the urethra.

Urinary tract infections typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to multiply in the bladder. Although the urinary system is designed to keep out such microscopic invaders, these defenses sometimes fail.

Overview of Infectious Diseases of the Urinary System in Small Animals Giant Kidney Worm Infection in Mink and Dogs Most infectious diseases of the urinary system in small animals are aerobic bacterial infections. Common organisms include Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus. Less common organisms causing infection include Klebsiella, Proteus, and Pseudomonas. Pasteurella is more common in cats than dogs. Mycoplasma is an uncommon cause of urinary tract infection and is usually found as a coinfection with bacteria. Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by filamentous bacteria that infect the kidney and many other organs. Fungi, yeast, and parasites uncommonly infect the urinary system.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) When bacteria enter into the urinary tract, this can result in an infection. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the bacteria that causes the vast majority of UTIs. However, other bacterial pathogens can also cause UTIs. A urine culture can help isolate the bacteria responsible for a particular UTI.
