Sažetak

Urinary tract infections are the most common nosocomial infections, immediately after respiratory infections. In order to achieve better treatment and evaluation of antimicrobial agents, urinary tract infections are divided into five groups. Urinary tract infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. The most common route of entry is through the external meatus of the urethra. The most common agent is E. coli. The biofilm formation is important in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections. Both repeated urinary tract infections in women and first infections in men require urological examination and evaluation. The best treatment option are targeted antibiotics in sufficient doses and over a sufficiently long period of time.
