Is a UTI a bacterial infection?
Yes, a UTI (urinary tract infection) is typically caused by bacterial infection. The most common bacteria responsible for UTIs is Escherichia coli (E. coli), which is usually found in the digestive system. In some cases, UTIs can also be caused by other bacteria such as Klebsiella or Proteus.
How do microorganisms enter the urinary tract?
There are three ways microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) can enter the urinary tract. The most usual is through the urethra, the passage between the bladder and the outside world. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more common in women than men because womens' urethras are much shorter than mens'. Women often contract UTIs after sexual activity because the friction pushes the bacteria up into the urethra. Poor immune function and sugar in the urine makes diabetics more susceptible to yeast infections of the bladder and urethra. The second avenue of entry is through the bloodstream. Kidney abscesses (perinephric), for example, can form from bacteria that has traveled through the blood from another site and lodged in the kidney. The third path is spread from infection in a nearby area. For example, an infection in the retroperitoneal area (where the kidneys reside) could spread to affect the kidneys and ureters, or a ruptured perirectal abscess could spread infection to the urethra.
What are the organisms which can cause decay?
Most of the times, it is the organism itself that decay... But think of the issue over in the Rockies right now... The beetles are decaying the trees... I don't remember the name, but that is one of them.

How much norocillin can you give your puppy for a urine infection?
None - norocillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic formulated as an injectable medication. Without confirming your puppy has a urinary tract infection, and without knowing what bacteria are causing this infection, giving a random antibiotic could make your puppy very sick. In general, puppies don't get urinary tract infections; those that do often have congenital malformations of the perineal (under the tail) area that need to be corrected surgically to prevent recurrent UTIs. However, for UTIs that do happen, the most common bacteria are Gram negative intestinal flora such as E. coli. These bacteria are generally not susceptible to penicillin-class drugs.
What are the causes of a urinary tract infection?
The most common causes of an UTI (urinary tract infection) in children are: 1. an uncircumcised penis 2. poor hygiene 3. anatomical anomalies within the urinary tract. Essentially, bacteria from the anal area find their way into the urethra and subsequently make their way into the bladder (cystitis) and may perhaps all the way up into the kidneys (pyelonephritis). or not drinking enough water. And not cleaning yourself after having sex. Addition: While An uncircumcised penis can trap the bacteria which leads to a UTI it is however not the cause,Poor personal hygiene of an uncircumcised penis would be the cause.The failure to wash before and after sexual intercourse...Also the failure to wash properly before changing from vaginal to anal intercourse and vise-versa.
