Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infections affecting the urinary system, predominantly caused by bacterial pathogens, with Escherichia coli being the most frequent pathogen. Infections of the kidney (eg, pyelonephritis) are severe and challenging to treat, due to the specific tissue microenvironment. In this study, the influence of different parameters mimicking the kidney environment on the effectiveness of antibiotics prescribed for pyelonephritis on the growth of uropathogenic strains was analyzed.
