Bacterial Pathogens

Content: and rarely Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Citrobacter species, or other uropathogens. A broader range of bacteria can cause complicated UTI, and many are resistant to broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Although E. coli is the most common, Citrobacter species, Enterobacter species, P. aeruginosa, enterococci, and S. aureus account for a relatively higher proportion of cases compared with uncomplicated UTIs (see Fig. 51.3 ). 1 The proportion of infections caused by fungi, especially Candida species, is increasing (see Chapter 53 ). Patients with chronic conditions, such as spinal cord injury and neurogenic bladder, are more likely to have polymicrobial (multiorganism) and multidrug-resistant infections.

Urinary Tract Infection, Lower (Cystitis), Uncomplicated
Philip Buttaravoli MD, FACEP, in Minor Emergencies (Second Edition), 2007
What Not To Do: Do not forget to check for pregnancy. Do not undertake expensive urine cultures for every lower UTI of recent onset in nonpregnant, normal, healthy women with no history of recent UTI or antibiotic use.
