Content: S. saprophyticus shares many clinical features of urinary tract infection caused by Escherichia coli, but this bacteria have some very unusual characteristics. For example, they are normally found in the urinary tract of predominantly girls and young women during late summer and early fall seasons. Post-menopausal women are rarely diagnosed with a UTI caused by this bacterium, and this bacteria decreases its appearance in winter and spring. While S. saprophyticus infection is rare in males, it could affect elderly or hospitalized men. On the bright side, S. saprophyticus UTI is less likely to cause bacteremia (blood infection) and is generally susceptible to most antibiotics, including penicillin. Staphylococcus aureus
Unlike S. saprophyticus, S. aureus UTI usually affects individuals with a urinary catheter and pregnant women. In addition, the majority of S. aureus superstrains are resistant to Methicillin. Enterococci
Enterococci are Gram-positive, lactic acid bacteria that can survive and grow with or without oxygen as well as bear temperatures ranging from 10–45°C and pH of 4.6 to 9. A urinary catheter is a major risk factor with enterococci accounting for about 15 to 30% of CAUTIs. Enterococci are also the third leading cause of UTIs acquired in hospital settings.
