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

UTIs are often caused by ''Escherichia coli'' (E. coli) bacteria, to which the infant has no passive immunity. In infant girls UTIs generally originate in the colon, whereas in infant boys they originate from the external environment, strongly suggesting that for boys such infections are iatrogenic.<ref>{{REFjournal

}}</ref> Although ''E. coli'' is one of the most common bacteria on the surface of human skin, strains found in hospitals tend to be particularly virulent. ''E. coli'' that live in the intestinal tract cause urinary tract infections when allowed to get into the sterile urinary tract. Whether intact or circumcised, baby boys sitting in poopy diapers allows ''E. coli'' an opportunity to enter the urinary tract. And, of course, fiddling with the foreskin and introducing bacteria foreign to the baby's body or his urinary tract can cause UTI, too. The tight [[foreskin]] of the infant boy acts as a sphincter to allow urine to flow out, but prevents contaminants and pathogens from coming in.<ref name="Fleiss 1998">{{REFjournal

Wiswell's sensational statistic, that circumcision resulted in a "ten to hundred times decrease in urinary tract infections in circumcised boys," has often been quoted; however, it is misleading. In fact, UTIs are so rare in either case that,even giving Wiswell's data the benefit of the doubt, 50 to 100 healthy boys would have to be circumcised in order to prevent a UTI from developing in only one patient. Using more recent data from a better-controlled study, the number of unnecessary operations needed to prevent one hospital admission for UTI would jump to 195.<ref>{{REFjournal
