hi so yes a bacterial urinary tract infection (uti) is the most common kind of infection affecting the urinary tract. urine or pee is the fluid that is filtered out of the bloodstream by the kidneys. urine contains salts and waste products but it doesn't normally contain bacteria. when bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and multiply in the urine a uti can result. i do hope this helps you. good luck
can you get a uti from someone else's bacteria in their home? . my mom has and always has uti's. now i have one. i have been using and cleaning her toilet. is it possible that i got the bacteria from that?
