Enterococcus urinary tract infection

An Enterococcus urinary tract infection is a bacterial infection of the urinary tract—encompassing the bladder, prostate, ureters, or kidneys—caused by Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic cocci of the genus *Enterococcus*, most frequently *Enterococcus faecalis* or *Enterococcus faecium* Clinical presentations range from lower tract dysuria, urinary urgency, and frequency to upper tract pyelonephritis, systemic urosepsis, or secondary bacteremia, often characterized by intrinsic or acquired ant...

Although community-acquired infections occur, it predominantly manifests as a healthcare-associated or complicated infection, disproportionately affecting elderly, hospitalized, or immunocompromised individuals, as well as patients with urinary tract abnormalities or indwelling urinary catheters Pathophysiologically, the bacteria ascend from perineal gastrointestinal flora and can form resilient biofilms on urothelial surfaces and instrumentation
