Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are infections of the kidney, bladder, and urethra. They are generally triggered by bacteria and are more common with any partial blockage of the urinary tract. In some people, UTIs tend to recur. Annoying urinary tract infections (UTIs) are becoming a common female problem. Research has revealed that UTIs can be quickly cured and prevented with cranberry. It acidifies the urine and inhibits bacteria from adhering to the wall of the bladder. Probiotics have helped in some cases of UTI.
an infection anywhere in the urinary tract. Women are more susceptible to UTIs than men due to a shorter urethra.
UTI) - an infection in the urethra, ureters, and/or bladder
An infection in the urinary tract caused by the invasion of disease-causing micro-organisms, which proceed to establish themselves, multiply, and produce various symptoms in their host. Infection of the bladder, better known as cystitis, is particularly common in women, mainly because of the much shorter urethra, which provides less of a barrier to bacteria. In men, infection is usually associated with obstruction to the flow of urine, such as prostate gland enlargement.

a condition where one or more structures in the urinary tract become infected after bacteria overcome its strong natural defenses
a general term which can refer to an infection of any or all parts of the urinary tract

The most common gramnegative bacteria include Escherichia coli, or a species of Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas or Enterobacter. Urinary tract infections are more common in women than in men. They are characterized by an increased need to urinate, a burning sensation and in severe cases blood and pus in the urine. Treatment includes antibacterials, analgesics, and urinary antiseptic medications. Urinary tract infections include cystitis, pyelonephritis and urethritis. Abbreviated to UTI.

Bacterial invasion of the urinary tract, which includes bladder, bladder neck and urethra. Symptoms of UTI include urine that is cloudy, contains sediment and smells foul, and fever.

Side effects vary, and may include nausea and vomiting, skin rash or hives.
UTI infections usually occur because of a disease causing microorganisms to invade and reproduce in the urinary system. Cystitis, otherwise known as a bladder infection, is common in women due to the short urethra, which provides a shorter barrier to bacteria. Bladder infections in men are usually caused by urethral obstruction.
