Abstract
Delirium is a prevalent condition among elderly individuals. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are often assumed to contribute to delirium onset. Given the recent discovery of the urinary microbiome, making a distinction between symptomatic UTIs and asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is crucial to investigate their roles in delirium. This study investigates the role of E. coli which is commonly found in UTIs and AB as a member of the urinary microbiome, and their interaction with the host, particularly through the interleukin-6 (IL-6) pathway, to understand their potential roles in delirium onset.
