In both the community and the clinical environment, Enterobacteriaceae are the most prevalent causes of urinary tract infections (UTIs). In fact, 90% of all UTIs are caused by these bacteria. The other 10% of cases may be caused by other organisms such as Candida or Pseudomonas. Enterobacter causes about 15% of all UTIs in adults who go to their doctor with symptoms of a bladder infection. This figure increases to 25% for people who do not report symptoms but still have evidence of infection. Children can get enterobacteria from their parents' urine or feces. Therefore, children often get UTIs due to enterobacteria even if they appear healthy and no one has reported any signs of illness. Parents should take precautions so that this does not happen. Enterobacter is a common bacterium found in the intestines of humans and other animals. It plays an important role in digestion by breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. However, when enterobacteria invade the urinary system they can cause problems such as cystitis and pyelonephritis. This occurs when the bacteria infect the kidneys. Treatment for enterobacterial infections includes antibiotics.
