A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection from microbes. These are organisms that are too small to be seen without a microscope. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, but some are caused by fungi and in rare cases by viruses. UTIs are among the most common infections in humans. A UTI can happen anywhere in your urinary tract.
Different types of bacteria cause UTIs. VUR can cause UTI. VUR (vesico-ureteral reflux) is the backward flow of urine from the bladder into the ureter. Blockage of urine in the tract can cause a UTI. Bubble baths and strong soaps can irritate the urethra (opening where urine comes out) and lead to a UTI.
