A '''urinary tract infection''', also commonly known as a '''UTI''', is a bacterial infection in the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and/or [[urethra]]). UTIs can affect both males and females, although, due to the difference in structures of the male and female urinary tract, infections occur most commonly in girls and women, as the urinary tract is shorter in females than it is in males. UTIs can become serious if undetected, and may lead to permanent kidney damage. However, they are easily and effectively treated with antibiotics.<ref name="ginsburg uti">{{REFjournal
