Urine is generally considered sterile and is
believed to be germ to be free. Any source of possible infection occurs through
the urethra which initiates the incidence of the infection. The predominant
pathogen responsible for UTI is Eschereria
coli which constitutes up to 80-85% and is followed by staphylococcus saprophyticus which accounts to 5-10%. The
occurrence of the infection due to viral or fungal agents is a rare phenomena.
In addition to the above mentioned bacterial species, klebsiella, proteus, pseudomonas and enterobacter are associated with urinary tract infection. The
bacteria enters bladder through the urethra and the infection can also occur
through blood and lymph (Sharna, &Thapa, 2007).
