• Laboratory diagnosis of urinary tract infections in adult patients. (2004, background): “UTIs have become the most common hospital-acquired infection, accounting for as many as 35% of nosocomial infections, and they are the second most common cause of bacteremia in hospitalized patients [2, 3]. The annual cost to the health care system of the United States attributable to community-acqu”

(2008, background): “These bacteria are the primary cause of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) (70–95%) and a large portion of nosocomial UTIs (50%), accounting for substantial medical costs and morbidity worldwide (Foxman, 2003).”
