AB Urinary  tract  infections  are  a  group  of  common  diseases  that  occur  predominantly  by  ascension  of  normal  enteric  flora  through  the  urethra  into  the  bladder.  These  infections  more  frequently  affect  persons  with  vaginas  due  to  anatomic  differences  including  a  shorter  urethra.  Diagnosis  is  made  by  identifying  related  clinical  symptoms  in  combination  with  an  abnormal  urinalysis  and  growth  on  urine  culture.  Antibiotics  are  often  effective  therapy,  although  antibiotic  resistance  is  increasing.
