Antibacterial host defenses in urinary tract
• Urine (osmolality, pH, organic acids)
• Urine flow & micturation
• Urinary tract mucosa (bactericidal activity, cytokines)
Urinary inhibitors of bacterial adherence
1. Tamm-Horsfall protein
2. Bladder mucopolysaccharide
3. Low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides
4. Secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA)
5. lactoferrin
Inflammatory response
1. PMNs
2. Cytokines
Immune system
1. Humoral immunity
2. Cell-mediated immunity
• Prostatic secretions
Uropathogenic strains
• Not all E coli cause UTI
• Serogroups O1, O2, O4, O6, O7,O8, O75, O150 &
O18ab
• Certain O,K & H serogroups also correlate with
clinical severity
Recognized virulence factors include
• Adhesins →pili or fimbriae
• Nonfilamentous proteins in outer membrane
• P fimbriae
• K antigen (K1, K5, K12)
• α & β hemolysins
• Aerobactin
• Siderphores
• Endotoxins
• Sat protein
• Motility
• Proteus adhere produce→ →
urease hydrolyze urea increases pH of→ →
urine direct toxicity to kidney cells→
stimulates formation of kidney stones→
• Similar findings with Klebsiella spp.
• S. saprophyticus adheres better than
S.aureus or S. epidermidis
• invade superficial epithelial cells →
replicate large foci triggers host→ →
response exfoliation of superficial cells→
Signs & Symptoms
1. Urethritis
2. Cystitis
3. Pyelonephritis
4. Asymptomatic bacteriuria
5. Urethral syndrome
Types of UTI & their clinical manifestations
Specimen collection & transport
Specimen Patient preparation Special instructions
Clean voided mid stream
urine
Females: clean area with
soap & water; hold labia
apart & begin voiding in
commode; after passing
several ml, collect MSU
Males: clean glans with
soap & water, rinse with
water, retract the
foreskin, after passing
several ml, collect MSU
Specimen Patient preparation Special instructions
Suprapubic aspirate Disinfect skin Needle aspiration above
the symphysis pubis
through abdominal wall
into full bladder
Specimen Patient preparation Special instructions
Indwelling catheter
(Foley)
Disinfect catheter
Collection port
Aspirate 5-10ml of urine
with needle & syringe
Specimen Patient preparation Special instructions
Straight catheter (in &
out)
Clean urethral area (soap
& water) & rinse with
water
Insert catheter Into
bladder; allow 1st
15ml to
pass; collect remainder
• 1st
urine passed in morning → most concentrated
• Renal failure/young child → few milliliters of urine
• Label (date & time of collection, name & number)
• Explain to patient
• Deliver promptly
• Delay unavoidable → store in refrigerator at 4°C
• Or transport in refrigerated container
• Or collection & transport in container with boric acid at
a final bacteriostatic conc. 1.8%
• Samples not so treated and delayed more than 5hrs
should be discarded & doctor should be informed
Tuberculosis of urinary tract
• 1st
urine passed in the day (early morning
urine; EMU)
• 3 to 6 consecutive days
• 3 complete EMU should be sent to laboratory
• Individual specimens refrigerated pending
process
Urethritis
• Initial flow rather than the mid stream
collected
Prostatitis
• Prostatic secretions
• Urethral urine & MSU obtained before &
after massage

Interpretation
Significant bacteriuria
• MSU most easily & commonly collected sample
• Contaminants → very bacteria which cause UTI
• Isolation not proof of UTI
• Proof of UTI → demonstration of pathogens in
freshly voided urine in No. > those likely to result
from contamination
• Edward Kass suggested that this number, taken to
indicate significant bacteriuria, is about 105
/ml
• In properly collected sample contamination accounts
for less than 104
/ml & usually for less than 103
/ml

pathogens
• Prevents swarming of Proteus
• Coliforms dark blue/purple→

• Improved recovery of S aureus
• Correct presumptive
identification of Citrobacter freundii
• Results 16-24 hours

amoxiclav (30μg)
For patients in hospital → parenteral drugs
• Sensitivity to cefuroxime (30μg), gentamycin (10μg),
