For anatomical reasons, urinary tract infections mainly affect women. These infections are most often caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli , a microorganism naturally present in the human intestinal microbiota. In case of infection, this bacterium colonizes the bladder and adheres to its walls, which causes a certain number of discomforts, which can vary according to the individual and the extent of the infection: burning while urinating, frequent urges and imperious, cloudy and foul-smelling urine, etc.
