Epidemiology of urinary tract infections: Incidence, morbidity, and economic costs
TLDR
According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) as discussed by the authors, the most common bacterial infection in the United States is UTI, accounting for nearly 7 million office visits and 1 million emergency department visits, resulting in 100,000 hospitalizations.About:

Intracellular bacterial biofilm-like pods in urinary tract infections
Gregory G. Anderson,Joseph J. Palermo,Joel D. Schilling,Robyn Roth,John E. Heuser,Scott J. Hultgren +5 more
TL;DR: It is discovered that the intracellular bacteria matured into biofilms, creating pod-like bulges on the bladder surface, which explains how bladder infections can persist in the face of robust host defenses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of intracellular bacterial communities in human urinary tract infection.
TL;DR: The presence of exfoliated IBCs and filamentous bacteria in the urines of women with acute cystitis suggests that the IBC pathogenic pathway characterized in the murine model may occur in humans.

Laboratory Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infections in Adult Patients
TL;DR: Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections and account for a significant part of the workload in clinical microbiology laboratories, with the increase in resistance to some antimicrobial agents particularly the resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole seen in E. coli.

Laboratory diagnosis of urinary tract infections in adult patients. Authors' reply
TL;DR: The most common cause of UTI infection is E. coli infection as mentioned in this paper, which accounts for a significant part of the workload in clinical microbiology laboratories. But the distribution of the pathogens that cause UTIs is changing.

TL;DR: ICU-acquired infection is common and often associated with microbiological isolates of resistant organisms, and the potential effects on outcome emphasize the importance of specific measures for infection control in critically ill patients.

Urinary tract infection: self-reported incidence and associated costs.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that by age 24, one-third of women will have at least one physician-diagnosed UTI that was treated with prescription medication, and the annual cost of UTI cases with prescriptions to be $1.6 billion in 1995.

TL;DR: If a vaccine were developed that would prevent either initial or recurrent UTI the net benefits to society would be substantial, even at a developmental cost of one billion dollars.

Ambulatory care visits to physician offices, hospital outpatient departments, and emergency departments : United States, 1996
TL;DR: Utilization varied by patient age, sex, and race; Persons 75 years and over had the highest rate of ambulatory care visits; and Females had significantly higher rates of visits to physician offices and hospital outpatient departments than males did.
