Urinary tract infections result mostly from ascending infection by micro-organisms introduced by way of the urethra. Bacteria are the usual causative agents. Occasionally, yeasts notably Candida albicans, are involved. Females are more prone to acute infections than males because of shorter urethra and the higher risks of contamination in the females.
尿路感染主要是由经尿道侵入的微生物上行感染所致。细菌是常见的病原体。偶尔,酵母菌尤其是白色念珠菌也会引发感染。女性比男性更容易发生急性感染,因为女性尿道较短,且受污染的风险更高。
