Content: Escherichia coli (or E. coli)–cause most uncomplicated cystitis and pyelonephritis cases. Klebsiella pneumonia–notorious for causing bloodstream infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa–cause hospital-acquired UTIs that also could lead to dangerous sepsis. A subgroup of gram-negative bacteria that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) enzymes deserves special mention. This enzyme allows the bacteria to resist most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and the monobactam aztreonam. 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
