A healthy urinary tract is not a sterile environment but is inhabited by diverse microorganisms that change according to environmental factors and the patient's condition. Elderly patients are predisposed to urinary tract infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria, and distinguishing between these two conditions is challenging. They are specific in several issues: the pathogenesis of infection and causative agents, diagnostic procedures, applied therapy, and preventive measures. Proper interpretation of symptoms, sampling of materials for analysis, and interpretation of results are of great importance. Correct procedures allow sparing patients from unnecessary treatment and complications of antibiotic therapy, as well as reducing bacterial resistance.
