Opis

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a medical condition in which pathogenic microorganisms, usually bacteria, are present in the urinary tract[1]. The urinary system includes the bladder, ureters, urethra and kidneys[2]. UTIs can manifest themselves in a variety of ways, depending on the site affected. Clinical manifestations can range from simple burning to septic shock. Urinary tract infection is the second most common community-acquired infection after respiratory tract infection, with a worldwide incidence of 404.61 million in 2019. Antibiotic therapy is of course the cornerstone of therapeutic management, and is vital to vital prognosis.
