A practical approach to the prevention and management of urinary tract infections. This text integrates information from the basic, clinical and epidemiologic sciences to construct a paradigm for infectious diseases. The relationship between the host and the invading microbes is investigated, along with the pathogenesis, immune response, epidemiology, natural history and the ecological impact of antimicrobial theory. These concepts are used to develop and evaluate strategies for diagnosis, prevention and management.
