Which of the following is a common pathogen found in urinary tract infections?

  1. Enterococci

  2. Haemophilus influenzae

  3. Mycoplasma pneumoniae

  4. Legionella spp.

The correct answer is: Enterococci

Enterococci is the most commonly found pathogen in urinary tract infections. Enterococci are bacteria that live naturally in our gastrointestinal tract. In the context of the urinary tract, enterococci can enter through the urethra, leading to an infection. Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Legionella spp. are all possible pathogens, but are less commonly associated with urinary tract infections. It is important to note that while these bacteria can cause infections in other areas of the body, they are not typically associated with urinary tract infections.
