Bacterial Pathogens

Content: 51.3 ). S. saprophyticus only rarely causes acute pyelonephritis. 14 Less common causes of uncomplicated UTI include other Enterobacteriaceae, such as Proteus mirabilis or Klebsiella species; enterococci; group B streptococci; 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 ).
