Abstract
Urinary tract infections belong to the most common infectious diseases. Hospitalacquired urinary tract infections associated with catheterization represent an increasingly important health problem. Bacteria usually reach the upper urinary tract by ascension via the urethra, partially promoted by endoscopic interventions or catheterization; lymphatic spread and hematogenic spread are less common. The development of bacterial resistance requires attention, particularly the resistance to fl uoroquinolones and cephalosporins due to the overuse of these substances [ 1 ].
