This paper presents a precisely defined question about the role of the biofilm-like intracellular bacterial communities in pathogenesis of the urinary tract infections. According to the recent literature, uropathogenic Escherichia coli is one of the leading etiologic agents of the urinary tract infections. Although E. coli is regarded as an extracellular pathogen, some experiments have revealed a multi-step infection cycle, which involves adhesion, invasion, proliferation within invaded urothelial cell in the form of biofilm-like intracellular bacterial communities and dispersal, leading to infection of next neighbouring cells. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of the urinary tract infections must include intracellular stage of infection.
