Differences for “ Urinary Tract Infection ”

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection that affects any part 
of the urinary tract. The main etiologic agent is Escherichia coli. Although 
urine contains a variety of fluids, salts, and waste products, it does not 
usually have bacteria in it. When bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and 
multiply in the urine, they may cause a UTI.
  
The most common type of UTI is acute cystitis often referred to as a bladder 
infection. An infection of the upper urinary tract or kidney is known as 
pyelonephritis, and is potentially more serious. Although they cause 
discomfort, urinary tract infections can usually be easily treated with a short 
course of antibiotics. Symptoms include frequent feeling and/or need to 
urinate, pain during urination, and cloudy urine.
  
The most common symptoms of a urinary infection are burning with urination 
(dysuria).
