Urinary tract infections are the commonest bacterial infections in medicine but, historically, the subject has received inadequate attention in medical literature, falling between the specialties of nephrology, urology and infectious dieases. This book - the brainchild of the late Edward H. Kass - meets the need for an authoritative and comprehensive text on all aspects of urinary tract infections, from their aetiology and pathogenesis to their pathology, diagnosis and clinical management. The contributors are all experts in their field and offer an international perspective on the subject. Bacterial virulence, host defence mechanism, imaging and the treatment of defined patient groups are covered in detail, as are catheter-associated infections. The latter are an important cause of septicaemia hence the particular attention given to practical aspects of catheter care and the role of biofilms in such infections.
