Content: 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. The poor immunity and incomplete bladder emptying in diabetics also increase the risk for enterococcal UTIs. These bacteria can spread to the bloodstream as well as contribute to prostate inflammation in about 10% of diabetic men. Unfortunately, Enterococcal superstrains are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. In particular, E. faecalis forms resilient biofilms, making it notoriously difficult for the antibiotics to penetrate these films and kill the superbug. Urinary Tract Infection caused by Group B Streptococcus
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a Gram-positive chain-forming bacterium that commonly dwells in the lower gut and female reproductive tract without causing any symptoms.
