    Abstract

    Urinary tract infection (UTI) is broadly defined as an infection of the urinary system, and may involve the lower urinary tract or both the lower and upper urinary tracts. The definition of a symptomatic UTI generally requires the presence of urinary tract-specific symptoms in the setting of significant bacteriuria with a quantitative count of ≥105 colony forming units of bacteria per milliliter (CFU/ml) in one urine specimen. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is defined as the presence of bacteria in the urine, without clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of a UTI. Asymptomatic pyuria is defined as the presence of white blood cells in the urine, in the absence of urinary tract specific-symptoms
