==Overview==
Common causes of pyelonephritis include functional or anatomic abnormality of the urinary tract that lead to [[vesicoureteral reflux]], and infections such as [[Escherichia coli|E. coli]]'',   [[Enterococcus faecalis]], [[Klebsiella]] spp., and [[Pseudomonas aeruginosa]].
Causes of uncomplicated and complicated pyelonephritis are mostly similar. Common causes of complicated pyelonephritis include [[Infection|infections]] such as [[Escherichia coli|E. coli]], [[Enterococcus faecalis]], [[Proteus]], [[Klebsiella]], and [[Pseudomonas aeruginosa]].

Overview

Causes of uncomplicated and complicated pyelonephritis are mostly similar. Common causes of complicated pyelonephritis include infections such as E. coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Causes

Common Causes

Bacterial microorganisms are the most common cause of pyelonephritis.[1][2][3][4][5]

  • Most cases of "community-acquired" pyelonephritis are due to bowel organisms that enter the urinary tract. Common organisms are:[6]

Less Common Causes

Following are the pathogens less frequently involved in causing pyelonephritis:[1][8]

Fungal Causes

Fungi are rarely found as a cause of pyelonephriti:[1]
