Abstract : as well as children (Foxman., 2003). It also accounts for healthcare associated infections and one of the most common nosocomial infections. In India, it is the third most prevalent infection (Saha et al., 2014) and frequents occurs in infants and children. Females are more prone to UTI compared to males (Kaur et al., 2014; Arvind et al., 2001).
The epidemiology of the infection variates with age, gender and other factors including genetic susceptibilities. The bacterial infection of UTI is categorised into two types based on site of localization of pathogenic bacteria in the urinary tract. It is categorised as uncomplicated (in case the pathogenic bacteria residing at urinary bladder) and complicated (the dispersion of the infection to ureters to kidneys and leading to kidney failure) (Noormandi et al., 2015).
