The Urological Paradigm of Urinary Tract Infections: From Pathogenesis to Prevention

This comprehensive text reframes urinary tract infections not as isolated microbial events but as clinical manifestations of underlying structural, functional, or mechanical failures within the urinary system. Integrating pathogenesis, diagnostic precision, antimicrobial stewardship, and emerging non‑antibiotic therapies, the book offers a risk‑factor‑based framework for managing uncomplicated and complicated UTIs, prostatitis, catheter‑associated infections, recurrent disease, pediatric reflux, and urosepsis. With guideline‑consistent algorithms and a prevention‑oriented philosophy, it is an essential resource for urologists, residents, and infectious disease practitioners seeking durable, patient‑centered solutions in the era of rising antimicrobial resistance.
