Correct Answer:<\/li>\n\n\n\n - A biofilm is any group of microorganisms that allow them to stick to one
another and adhere to surfaces that help them survive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n - First, bacteria enter and contaminate the lower urinary tract. This causes
the colonization of bacteria in the urethra and the bladder. If the UTI
progresses the bacteria can ascend to the kidneys and colonize there. At this
point, the infection becomes an upper UTI. From there, if left untreated, the
bacteria can spread into the circulation via the renal veins causing
bacteremia<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot_99-1024x694.png\")
