Lower urinary tract infection is a significant problem in 20 percent of the female population in the United States. An improved standard of care is now possible through new understanding of pathogenesis, evaluation, and cost-effective management. Urologists are called on to establish standard protocols for practical diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection, thereby establishing a common language among physicians and patients. An appreciation of host defense mechanisms, particularly the antiadherence role of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in the bladder mucin, reinforces clinical recognition of the bladder as the target organ for bacterial attack associated with urinary tract infection.
下尿路感染在美国20%的女性人群中是一个重大问题。通过对发病机制、评估和具有成本效益的管理的新认识，现在有可能提高护理标准。泌尿科医生被要求制定针对单纯性尿路感染的实际诊断和治疗的标准方案，从而在医生和患者之间建立一种共同语言。对宿主防御机制的认识，特别是糖胺聚糖（GAG）在膀胱粘蛋白中的抗粘附作用，强化了临床对膀胱作为与尿路感染相关的细菌攻击靶器官的认识。
