Abstract

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) can be commonly caused by aerobic bacteria, but anaerobic bacteria can also be rarely responsible for these infections. Anaerobes are often misidentified or even overlooked as aetiological agents of UTI. They may be quite significant in many predisposing conditions. This review article explores the role of anaerobic bacteria in causing UTIs, the diagnostic challenges and treatment options as well.
