Bacteria are the most common cause - most frequently Eschericia coli. UTI's in females are generally caused by normal flora from the gastrointestinal tract (due to the close proximity). Other frequently encountered organims include the bacteria Proteus, Staphylococci. Hospital acquired organisms include the bacteria Pseudomonas, Klebsiella and Enterobacter. The yeast Candida may cause a UTI - but rarely. Even less common are parasites and viruses.
In summary: Bacteria are most often involved; E. coli the most common bacteria.
Urine is normally sterile and free of viruses, bacteria and fungi. A urinary tract infection develops if bacteria from the rectum area such as E. Coli travel from the urethra up to the bladder. Sometimes microorganisms such as Mycoplasma and Chlamydia also cause UTI's.
Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally lives in the colon. It sometimes gets into the Urinary tract pretty easily I read.
Klebsiella is a relatively common urinary tract bacterial pathogen that starts with the letter K.
Usually means a urinary tract infection.

Bacteria
There may be bacteria in or around the urethra but they normally cannot enter the bladder. A catheter can pick up bacteria from the urethra and allow them into the bladder, causing an infection to start
One has nothing to do with the other. You get a bladder infection from bacteria entering the bladder.
I am not sure Gatorade can be a cause of bladder infections but in my experience it has been a contributing factor to bladder irritation.
Same reason as women - bacteria in the urethra.
You will still need to see a doctor because it could be prostate problems rather than bladder. But drinking cranberry juice will make the urine more acidic, which can decrease the amount of bacteria.
A bladder infection often results due to bacteria present in urine traveling from the bladder through the urethra. The infection often is associated with a urinary tract infection.
A bladder infection is a bacterial disease. Most are caused when bacteria travel up the urethra (backward, or ascending) to the bladder. This is more common in women because of the close proximity of the urethra to the vagina and the growth of bacteria in the closed environment of the vulva.Bladder infections are caused by the bacteria E. coli.
