    Study Notes

    Urinary Tract Infections

    • A common cause of cystitis is bacterial infection, particularly by Escherichia coli (E. coli).
    • The presence of type 1 fimbriae and P fimbriae on the surface of bacterial cells enhances colonization and resistance to host defenses in the urinary tract.
    • A characteristic of uncomplicated UTIs is that they typically occur in healthy individuals with a normal urinary tract and respond well to antibiotic treatment.
    • Untreated or severe UTIs may cause abscess formation and scarring in the kidneys, leading to chronic kidney disease.
    • The immune response, which is activated by the presence of certain bacterial antigens, protects against urinary tract infection by recognizing and eliminating pathogens.
