Urinary pathogens in the male

R Maskell, L Pead, R J Hallett

    British Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1975

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in boys are caused by different pathogens than in girls or adult males. Infection in boys likely originates in the prepuce or urethra, unlike in girls where it stems from the bowel.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Microbiology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in children.
    • The etiology of UTIs in prepubertal boys differs from that in girls and adult males.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the distinct pathogens responsible for urinary infections in boys compared to girls and adult males.
    • To explore the potential origin of UTIs in boys, focusing on the prepuce and urethra.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of pathogens causing UTIs in boys, girls, and adult males.
    • Examination of prepuce flora in boys with and without a history of UTIs.

    Main Results:

    • Pathogens causing UTIs in boys are significantly different from those in girls and adult males.

  • Infection focus in boys appears to be the preputial sac or urethra, not the bowel.
  • Differences in infecting organisms between boys and adult males may involve prostatic secretions.

    • Conclusions:

    • The origin and causative agents of UTIs vary by sex and age group.
    • Preputial and urethral colonization are likely key factors in pediatric male UTIs.
    • Prostatic secretions may play a role in the distinct UTI pathogen profiles observed in adult males.
