Abstract
Symptoms are absent in the great majority of elderly UTI (urinary tract infection) patients. Diagnosis is established by culturing urine specimens. Treatment is always indicated for symptomatic UTI. Since recurrence rates are high, toxicity is an important consideration in choosing an antimicrobial agent. Escherichia coli are the most common infecting organisms, but infection caused by Proteus , Klebsiella , or Pseudomonas is not uncommon. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is commonly caused by E. coli , but Klebsiella-Enterobacter, P. mirabilis , enterococci, and staphylococci are frequently implicated.
