Abstract:

The usual bacterial disease infecting mankind is urinary tract infection (UTI). Any illness that affects ureters, bladder, kidneys, or urethra is referred to UTI, where urinary bladder and urethra are highly affected. The women have been reported to be more prone to UTI, can cause discomfort and annoyance. If UTI spreads to kidneys, it may cause severe damage and dangerous repercussions. A UTI could be controlled by using different antibiotics. However, etiologists have recommended certain precautionary measures, which lower the risk of contracting a UTI in the first place. A significant component of UTI treatment consists of bactericidal antibiotics. However, self-medication and overdoses of these antibiotics given for prolonged periods may cause hamper patient’s immune system and causing multiple drug resistance in the pathogenic microbes. The UTI has been reported to be caused by bacteria, fungi and some viruses (as opportunistic pathogen). The incidence of UTI prevails to higher extent in elderly women. The present study has been done extensively to study use of newer approaches in combating UTI, which may prove useful in understanding, preventing, managing, and curing this disease more effectively.

Keywords: Antibiotics, Bactericidal Activity, Diagnosis of Urinary tract infection, UTI Treatment methods.
