Staphylococcus Saprophyticus
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is instead a constituent of the normal genitourinary tract flora and can cause urinary tract infections, especially in young women (it is the second most common etiologic agent of female cystitis, after Escherichia coli) [82].

Bacteria
Escherichia coli, Proteus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter and Staphylococcus saprophyticus are the most common etiologic agents in UTI. E. coli dominate in both outpatient and hospitalized populations and are the most extensively characterized regarding mechanisms of virulence. The population structure of E. coli is clonal, i.e. genetic elements occur in nonrandom, relatively stable combinations. Uropathogenic E. coli are a selected subset of the E. coli flora at large. The pyelonephritogenic clones are identified by a limited number of surface antigen serotypes (O: K: H: F = lipopolysaccharide (LPS), capsular polysaccharide, flagellar and fimbrial antigens) and intracellular isoenzyme patterns (electrophoretic types), and by the expression of molecules which damage the host tissues.
