Symptom: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

The following conditions may cause urinary tract infection (uti):

Klebsiella oxytoca in urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

K. oxytoca is a commensal bacteria normally found in the gut and respiratory tract of humans, however is an emerging pathogen.

Citrobacter koseri vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections

Citrobacter koseri is considered normal microflora of the human digestive tract, but can be an opportunistic pathogen, causing sometimes serious, antibiotic-resistant infections and abscesses.

Enterobius vermicularis vaginal, urinary tract and pelvic infection

Pinworms (Enterobius vermicularis) usually infect the intestine, with the eggs highly transmissible, entering via the mouth. Kids are typically the most affected, however anyone can get worms. Vaginal infection isn’t common, but many case reports identify pinworms in the vagina. Read more about pinworms in the vagina and female reproductive tract

Serratia marcescens urinary tract infections

Serratia marcescens is commonly associated with hospital-acquired urinary tract and other infections.

Pseudomonas spp. urinary tract infections

Pseudomonas is a genus made up of a group of bacteria that are easy to study, because they grow in a wide range of conditions. The main vulvovaginal/urinary tract pathogen in this group is Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Chryseobacterium spp. vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections

Chryseobacterium species are a known human pathogen with low virulence, but very resistant to antibiotics, making it a nuisance in hospitals. Anyone with severe underlying disease, catheters or other devices is at risk of infection by Chryseobacterium species, but generally, this bacteria stays clear of the vagina and urinary tract in women. Chryseobacterium indologenes was the

Aerococcus spp. urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Aerococcus species are an emerging human pathogenic group of bacteria, with several problematic bacteria in its ranks. A. urinae A. sanguinicola A. viridans A. urinae causes urinary tract infections, while A. sanguinicola has been identified in human urine and blood. Aerococci have been mistaken for streptococci in labs, causing an underestimation of their pathogenic potential. PCR

Micrococcus luteus vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections

Micrococcus luteus is a cause of urinary tract and other forms of infection in humans, and is multi-drug resistant.

Klebsiella pneumoniae urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Klebsiella pneumoniae may be involved in vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections, being part of aerobic vaginitis.

Klebsiella aerogenes (formerly Enterobacter aerogenes) vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections

Klebsiella aerogenes is an opportunistic pathogenic bacteria that is susceptible to most antibiotics but is also quick to develop resistance. Naturally found in the human digestive tract, K. aerogenes doesn’t always cause infection in healthy people and can be a normal part of commensal flora. The growth and virility of this bacteria is highly variable

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is an emerging hospital-acquired infection that can develop biofilms and can cause urinary tract infections.

Acinetobacter baumannii in urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic bacteria, known to be a pathogen particularly in immunocompromised people in hospitals.
