Urinary tract infections
This document provides information on urinary tract infections (UTIs), including their definition, anatomical structures involved, classification, etiology, pathogenesis, signs and symptoms, specimen collection and transport, laboratory diagnosis and interpretation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, treatment, and references. UTIs are caused by microbial invasion of the genitourinary tract and are extremely common. Proper collection and testing of urine specimens is required for accurate laboratory diagnosis and interpretation of results to determine treatment.

Antibacterial host defensesin urinary tract • Urine (osmolality, pH, organic acids) • Urine flow & micturation • Urinary tract mucosa (bactericidal activity, cytokines) Urinary inhibitors of bacterial adherence 1. Tamm-Horsfall protein 2. Bladder mucopolysaccharide 3. Low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides 4. Secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) 5. lactoferrin Inflammatory response 1. PMNs 2. Cytokines Immune system 1. Humoral immunity 2. Cell-mediated immunity • Prostatic secretions
- 17. Uropathogenic strains • Notall E coli cause UTI • Serogroups O1, O2, O4, O6, O7,O8, O75, O150 & O18ab • Certain O,K & H serogroups also correlate with clinical severity

Significant bacteriuria • MSUmost easily & commonly collected sample • Contaminants → very bacteria which cause UTI • Isolation not proof of UTI • Proof of UTI → demonstration of pathogens in freshly voided urine in No. > those likely to result from contamination • Edward Kass suggested that this number, taken to indicate significant bacteriuria, is about 105 /ml • In properly collected sample contamination accounts for less than 104 /ml & usually for less than 103 /ml
