Harnwegsinfektion bei Frauen: Wie wird sie behandelt?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a medical condition in which pathogenic microorganisms, primarily bacteria, are present in the urinary system. The urinary system consists of the bladder, ureters, urethra, and kidneys. UTIs can manifest in different ways depending on the affected area. The clinical manifestations range from simple burning during urination to septic shock. Urinary tract infections are the second most common infection in the community after respiratory infections, with a global incidence of 404.61 million in 2019. Antibiotic therapy remains the cornerstone of therapeutic management and determines the prognosis for survival.
