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.
