@entity293 ( @entity293 ) in the elderly are common. The pathophysiology of increased susceptibility is multifactorial. Age-related changes include a decline in cell-mediated immunity, @entity1494 , structural urinary tract abnormalities (e.g., @entity1067 ), @entity262 (e.g., @entity6 ) and increased incidence of urethral catheter placement. Catheter-associated @entity793 is the most common hospital-acquired @entity281 . Many elderly @entity1 , including those with catheter-associated @entity793 , are asymptomatic. @entity526 remains the most common uropathogen. However, @entity325 is more common among the elderly. The use of antimicrobial agents needs to be guided by current surveillance studies of targeted uropathogenic bacteria before being implemented. However, @entity293 in the elderly may lead to severe @entity8 . Therefore surgical intervention may be needed in these infections.
