Review
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in Germany, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. The clinical spectrum is heterogeneous and ranges from benign, often self-limiting, uncomplicated infections to complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) with life-threatening courses. Complicated urinary tract infections have a higher risk of chronicity, recurrence and/or progression than uncomplicated infections and may be associated with severe disease progression. Stratification of patients with urinary tract infections is, therefore, of utmost importance. Host factors rather than pathogen attributes determine the pathophysiology and therapy of complicated urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. Complicated UTIs and pyelonephritis are also associated with high rates of antimicrobial resistance in the causative pathogens, so they should be given particular emphasis.

Review
Urinary tract infections are a severe public health problem. The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens threaten to further compromise the quality of life and health of people who develop acute and recurrent upper and lower urinary tract infections. The host defense mechanisms that prevent invasive bacterial infection are not entirely delineated. However, recent evidence suggests that versatile innate immune defenses play a key role in shielding the urinary tract from invading uropathogens. Over the last decade, considerable advances have been made in defining the innate mechanisms that maintain immune homeostasis in the kidney and urinary tract. When these innate defenses are compromised or dysregulated, pathogen susceptibility increases. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of how basic science discoveries are elucidating essential innate host defenses in the kidney and urinary tract. In doing so, we highlight how these findings may ultimately translate into the clinic as new biomarkers or therapies for urinary tract infection.
