Incidence and Epidemiology
• Most common bacterial infection
• Woman > Men
• Prevalence∝ Older age

Pathogenesis

10
Routes of infection
• Ascending
-Most bacteria : Bowel reservoir(Urethra > Bladder > Upper tract)
-Significant role : Adherence of pathogens to urothelial mucosa
-Increased by “Anti-peristaltic effect”
-GN and endotoxin
-Pregnancy
-Ureteral obstruction

11
Routes of infection
• Haematogenous(Uncommon)
-Organism : Staphylococcus aureus, Candida fungemia

• Lymphatic(Uncommon)
-Direct extension of bacteria from adjacent organs
-Unusual circumstances
1.Severe bowel infection
2.Retroperitoneal abscess 12
Urinary Pathogen
• Sources

-Bowel flora: UPEC(Uropathogenic E.Coli = Most common)


-Perineal skin/Vagina flora: S.epidermidis, Candida albicans

Community acquired Hospital acquired


Gram - Klebsiella
Proteus Pseudomonas
Enterobactor, Citrobactor
Serratia, Providentia

2. Patient with potential risk factors
3. Men
• Urologic evaluation
Unnecessary in women & young men who respond to ATB
37
Uncomplicated cystitis
Asymptomatic bacteriuria
• Dx: Based on UC without sign and symptom of UTI
• Specimen
• Voided urine - Women: 2 consecutive specimen with same bacteria
(UC > 105 cfu/ml) - Men: 1 specimen

• Single cath - UC > 102 cfu/ml

38
Uncomplicated cystitis
Asymptomatic bacteriuria screening and treatment
• Screening and ATB is recommended in
1. Pregnant woman
2. Prior urological intervention

39
Complicated cystitis
• Occur in patient with
1.Compromised urinary tract

2. Caused by very resistant pathogens


40
Complicated cystitis
• Clinical spectrum: Mild cystitis - Life threatening Urosepsis
• Treatment: ATB + Correct complicating host factors

41
Unresolved UTI

42
Unresolved UTI
Management

• Renal function and radiological intervention
(should be performed if UC show susceptible pathogen)

43
Recurrent UTI
Reinfection Bacterial persistence

Interval Vary/Long interval Closed intervals
Organism Different Same
Source Outside Inside : Stone/Prostate
ATB Prophylaxis Suppression
Uro abnml No Usually

1. Low dose continuous prophylaxis: After UC no growth
2. Self start intermittent therapy: Full dose Quinolones
3. Post coital prophylaxis: Nitrofurantoin/TMP-SMX/Cephalexin/Quinolones
(Single dose)
47
Recurrent UTI : Reinfection

 Risk of urinary obstruction/VUR/instrumentation/stones
Poor hygiene/ fluid intake/perineal colonization
 Host immune from chronic illness

108
UTI in patient with spinal cord injury
Pathogenesis
• Indwelling catheter -> most likely lead to UTI
• Infection rate: Urethral = Suprapubic catheter
• Delayed onset of bacteriuria in suprapubic catheter
• CIC = Lowest risk for significant long term UT complication
Ex. UTI, fever, bacteriuria, prostatitis, epididymitis

109
UTI in patient with spinal cord injury

UTI in patient with spinal cord injury
Management : Only symptomatic patient require treatment
• Collect UC before start ATB
• Afebrile: Oral fluoroquinolone
• Febrile: IV Aminoglycoside + Penicillin or 3rd gen cephalosporine
• Duration: 4-5 days for mildly symptomatic, 10-14 days for sicker
• If clinical not improved in 24-48 hrs
1. Reculture and adjustment of ABO
2. Imaging for ruling out obstruction/stone/abscess
