You mean to say saliva from your partner who is doing oral sex on you? If yes then it is possible. If the person who is performing oral sex on you has infection in his mouth or throat it could get transmitted to you and get you UTI via your urethral opening. Also unhygienic conditions could help enter surrounding bacterias into urethra.
