What bacterium is pyelonephritis

summary

I heard from a friend that her husband was hospitalized a few days ago. It seems that he got pyelonephritis, and then he didn't pay attention to the infection. The situation seems to be quite serious. I'm very worried about his condition. Now I'll introduce the bacteria of pyelonephritis.

What bacterium is pyelonephritis

First: many cases of pyelonephritis are retrograde infection, that is to say, there are bacteria retrograde from urethra to kidney infection. Because the female urethra is short, so it is more prone to disease. There is also a small part of the blood circulation, from other parts of the body (more common in dental disease).

Second, the specific bacteria can only be cultured in the middle urine or observed directly under the microscope. Before the bacteriological examination results come out, antibiotics for common bacteria (E. coli or Streptococcus faecalis) in urethra should be used. Drinking plenty of water and alkalizing urine also help. During sex, because of the pressure and invagination of female urethral orifice, trauma or too short urethra, bacteria in the anterior urethra are easily squeezed into the bladder and cause infection.

Third: sex is generally caused by acute urinary tract infection, generally only other accompanying diseases, repeated many times, will spread to the kidney. So you'd better check for ureteral reflux. Renal parenchymal lesions, such as glomerulonephritis, renal cysts, renal tumors and chronic tubulointerstitial diseases, can reduce the local antibacterial ability of the kidney, and are prone to complicated with pyelonephritis.

matters needing attention

Pyelonephritis is generally caused by retrograde infection, and it is not only caused by a kind of bacteria. I didn't think that different factors will produce different bacteria. You can refer to the introduction.
