Content: Unfortunately, infections with ESBL-producing organisms are very hard to treat. The most common ESBL-producing bacteria are some strains of E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Patients in hospitals or nursing home settings are at an increased risk to contract an ESBL-producing bacteria. Some examples of gram-positive bacteria causing UTI are: Staphylococcus saprophyticus (S. saprophyticus)
Group B Streptococcus (GBS)
Aerococcus
Enterococcus
Who gets what bacteria? When examining UTI bacteria types, we need to keep in mind that different patients (kids, young women, pregnant females, males, or the elderly) are unequally susceptible to different bacteria types. Also, depending on how you acquired your UTI (for example due to bladder stones or a catheter in a hospital setting) will determine which bacteria are most likely to be at fault. Moreover, in certain settings, the urinary tract can be infected by multiple bugs at the same time — referred to as “polymicrobial infection” in the medical world. Moreover, some bacteria might colonize a bladder without even causing a UTI. E. coli UTI
The commonest bacteria isolated from the urinary tract of 75%- 80% of young, sexually active, non-pregnant women with an uncomplicated UTI are E. coli bacteria.
