Overview
Women are more prone to getting urinary tract infections as they have a shorter urethra. This urethra is closer to the anus. If you have had a urinary tract infection in the past, are pregnant, have had unprotected sex, or have some kidney disorder, you are more prone to developing a UTI. The bacteria that usually cause a urinary tract infection are acinetobacter, klebsiella, enterobacter, and proteus.
