It is important to note that while bacterial infections are the most common cause of UTIs, there are also other factors that can contribute to UTIs, such as hormonal changes, sexual activity, and underlying medical conditions. Additionally, while E. coli is a frequent cause of UTIs, other bacteria such as Klebsiella, Proteus, and Enterococcus can also cause UTIs.
It is essential to diagnose and treat UTIs promptly to prevent complications and recurrence. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and the choice of antibiotic will depend on factors such as the severity of the infection, the type of bacteria causing the infection, and the patient’s medical history and allergies.
