Abstract

The article examines the features of the development of nosocomial urinary infections. Urinary tract diseases have long occupied one of the leading places among the most common medical problems. They not only burden the economy due to the high costs associated with their treatment, but also have a tendency to frequent recurrence and the development of antibiotic resistance, due to uropathogens. Urinary tract infections cause a wide range of diseases among various population groups, including children, women of all ages and older men. Among the most common consequences of these infections are not only frequent relapses of the disease, but also dangerous complications such as pyelonephritis, a number of kidney diseases in children and premature birth. Scientists emphasize the increase in the number of mutations in the genes of bacteria responsible for infectious diseases, which leads to the appearance of more aggressive variants of pathogens. In such circumstances, the importance of using antibacterial agents wisely is emphasized, as well as the active search for alternative treatment methods, in light of the development of drug-resistant strains. As a result of the research, a review of the literature was carried out, the author’s conclusions were given.
