    A urinary tract infection (UTI) involves bacteria entering the urinary system through the urethra and ascending to infect parts of the urinary tract including the bladder and kidneys. Bacteria can also reach the kidneys through the bloodstream from a systemic infection. For an ascending infection, bacteria colonize the urethra then penetrate and ascend through the ureters to cause pyelonephritis of the kidneys.
