URINARY TRACT INFECTION
• Second most common
infection
following
respiratory infections
• UTI occur when bacteria
(E.
coli)
from
the
digestive tract get into
the opening of the
urinary
tract
and
multiply
• Bacteria first infect the
urethra, then move to
the bladder and finally
to the kidneys
• UTI tend to occur more
in women than men
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
Urinary tract is normally
sterile due to the fact
that bacteria moving
upwards are regularly
washed out by
urination
Normal flora found in the
urethra consist of
lactobacillus and
staphylococcus to name
a few
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
Importance of Urinary
Tract Infections is
demonstrated by the
fact that 20% of women
between ages 20-65
suffer one attack per
year
Approximately 50% of
women develop a UTI
during their lives and
there is a prevalence
rate of 5% per year of
asymptomatic or covert
bacteriuria in nonpregnant women
between ages 21 and 65

URINARY TRACT INFECTION
AETIOLOGY
Background
1. Bacterial infections of urinary tract are a very common
reason to seek health services
2. Common in young females and uncommon in males under
age 50
3. Common causative organisms
• Escherichia coli (gram-negative enteral bacteria) causes most
community acquired infections
• Staphylococcus saprophyticus, gram-positive organism causes
10 – 15%
• Catheter-associated UTI’s caused by gram-negative bacteria:
Proteus, Klebsiella, Seratia, Pseudomonas
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
BACTERIA GET ACCESS FROM URETHRA AND
ASCENDS
FEMALES ARE MORE PRONE DUE TO:
• SMALL URETHRA
• GRAM NEGATIVE ORGANISM RADIATE FROM PERI
ANAL AREA TO URETHRA
• SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
• SUSCEPTIBILITY OF EPITHELIUM
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
WHETHER BLADDER INFECTION ENSURES IT,
DEPENDS ON THE FOLLOWING:
• FLUSHING AND DILUTING OF MICURITION AND
VOIDING
• ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES OF BLADDER
MUCOSA AND URINE
• SIZE OF INOCULUM
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
• FEMALE SEX AND INTERCOURSE PREDISPOSES
• PREGNANCY: URETERAL TONE AND URETHRAL
PERISTALSIS DECREASES
• OBSTRUCTION IN FREE FLOW OF URINE: TUMOR,
STRICTURE, CALCULI AND BPH ETC.
• CATHETERISATION, URETHRAL DILATATION,
CYSTOSCOPY
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
The normal bladder is capable of clearing itself
of organisms within 2 to 3 days of their
introduction.
Defense mechanisms
(1) the elimination of bacteria by voiding
(2) the antibacterial properties of urine and its
constituents
(3) the intrinsic mucosal bladder defense
mechanisms
(4) an acid vaginal environment (female)
(5) prostatic secretions (male)
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
Two potential routes :
(1) the hematogenous route, with
seeding of the kidney during the
course of bacteremia
(2) the ascending route, from the
urethra to the bladder, then from
the bladder to the kidneys via the
ureters.
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
Hematogenous Infection
Because the kidneys receive 20% to 25% of the
cardiac output, any microorganism that
reaches the bloodstream can be delivered to
the kidneys.
The major causes of hematogenous infection are
S. aureus, Salmonella species, P. aeruginosa,
and Candida species.
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
Hematogenous Infection
Chronic infections (skin, respiratory tract)
blood circulation
small abscess
renal pelvis
kidney (cortex)
renal tubular
renal papillary
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
ASCENDING INFECTION
The ability of host defense
Urinary tract mucosal cells damaged
The power of bacterial adhesions(toxicity)
organisms
urethra,periurethral tissues
bladder
ureters
renal pelvis
renal medulla
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
Voiding dysfunction is characterized by
some or all of the following:
urgency
frequency
dysuria
hesitancy
dribbling of urine
overt incontinence
secondary to a UTI or to local irritants such
as pinworm infestation
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
The normal bladder is capable of clearing itself
of organisms within 2 to 3 days of their
introduction.
• Defense mechanisms
(1) the elimination of bacteria by voiding
(2) the antibacterial properties of urine and its
constituents
(3)the intrinsic mucosal bladder defense
mechanisms
(4) an acid vaginal environment (female)
(5) prostatic secretions (male)
URINARY TRACT INFECTION
PATHOGENESIS
CONTINITUATION OF UTI DEPENDS :
• Female sex and intercourse predisposes
• Pregnancy:
ureteral
tone
decreased,
ureteral
peristalsis decreased
• Obstruction in free flow of urine
• Catheterisation , urethral dilatation, cystoscopy
• Vesico-ureteric reflux: it occurs during voiding -pressure increase in bladder, flow from bladder to
kidney
• Impaired defence
• Neurogenic: spinal injury, sclerosis

HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Age-related Risk Factors for UTI
• Advanced Age
• Fecal incontinence/impaction
• Incomplete bladder emptying or neurogenic
bladder
• Vaginal atrophy/estrogen deficiency
• Pelvic prolapse/cystocele
• Insufficient fluid intake/dehydration
• Indwelling foley catheter or urinary catheterization
or instrumentation procedures
