UTIs are quite a known type of infection, especially present in the lives of women. Namely, women have a likelihood of suffering from UTIs at least once in their lifetime; the actual percentage of experiencing is approximately 40%–60% (“Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)—Symptoms and Causes” 2019). The chances of creating an all-encompassing treatment strategy for individuals who suffer from complicated UTIs are fairly slim due to the myriad of complications that may or may not arise during the period of infection (Desforges, Stamm, and Hooton 1993). An incessant infection that plagues the medical community isinfections which affect the human urinary system. One way to fight off these infections as mentioned has been with the use of antibiotics (Schmiemann et al. 2010). However, scientific findings have led to the deduction that certain cells of biofilm communities have a greater aversion and resistance to antibiotics, especially when making a comparison with various planktonic bacterial cells (Delcaru et al. 2016, Tabibian et al. 2008)

Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) can be a symptom of structural abnormality of the urinary tract in children, particularly anatomical anomalies and VUR. Ultrasound is a radiation-free test that may give much valuable information about the structural integrity of the urinary tract.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs in the urinary tract, often caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli. A UTI often causes frequent urination, pain and burning when urinating, and blood in the urine.

The prerequisite for the formation of infectious stones is persistent urinary tract infection. Among the pathogens that cause urinary tract infections, about 1/3 are caused by microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma) that produce urease, especially the bacteria.[1] The most common are Proteus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas Monas and Staphylococcus.[2] Urinary tract infection bacteria are mainly Gram-negative bacilli, with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae ranking first and second separately.[3] Thus, in this present research, we aimed to develop new candidates for the treatment of calculus of ureter through inhibiting the growth of urinary tract pathogens.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a severe public health problem and are caused by a range of pathogens, both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, as well as by certain fungi.[1] However, the most common pathogens responsible for UTIs are Escherichia coli (70–80% of UTIs), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.[1–3] UTIs affect 150 million people each year worldwide occurring in every age group of both genders, but particularly in female population.[4–6] It has been reported that UTI accounts for about 8.3 million visits to doctors per year.[7–9] UTIs still remain a challenge for medicine because of poor diagnosis and reason of hospital acquired infections.[10]

E. coli is the most common cause of Gram-negative nosocomial and community-acquired infections (CAIs). Uropathogenic E. coli is the major cause of urinary tract infections. Moreover, it is one of the most commonly isolated organisms in neonatal meningitis and nosocomial bacteremia [5].
