Abstract

The urinary tract infection (UTI) lies in the colonization and multiplication of microorganisms in the urinary tract. It is diagnosed by bacterial culture and classified according to the anatomical location and the severity determining the signs, symptoms and severity of the infection, recurrence and risk factors. The most frequently acquired UTIs occur in the community. There is a higher incidence of this type of infection in people with diabetes mellitus, being more prevalent with age, female gender, poor glycemic control and poor renal function.
