Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common infectious disease in primary care practice. This article reviews topics highlighting recent research, including UTIs in pregnancy and pediatric UTIs. The authors also discuss catheter-associated UTIs, given the large number of hospitalized patients undergoing catheterization and residents of long-term care facilities, in whom catheters are used frequently, and complicated UTIs.
