Detection of urinary tract infections by rapid methods.
A review of rapid urine screens for detection of bacteriuria and pyuria demonstrates a number of available alternatives to the culture method. Selection of one or more of these systems for routine use is dependent upon the laboratory and the patient population being tested. The laboratory approach to the diagnosis of urinary tract infection should consider the clinical diagnosis of the patient ...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa urinary tract infections by radioimmunoassay.
A solid-phase radioimmunoassay designed to detect serotype 6 Pseudomonas aeruginosa antigens was evaluated for its ability to rapidly diagnose urinary tract infections. Twelve P. aeruginosa serotypes were easily differentiated in the assay from eight other gram-negative bacterial species. During log-phase growth, the assay detected antigens in culture when approximately 10(6) or more serotype 6...
متن کاملRapid and High Sensitivity Detection of Urinary Tract Infections Using Isotachophoresis
We have developed a rapid and highly sensitive microfluidic technique for the detection of bacterial pathogens which cause urinary tract infections. Our assay is aimed to replace the standard 2-3 day culture-based phenotypic identification with an on-chip ~5 min test that could be performed at the point-of-care with minimal sample preparation. Our technique is based on the detection of bacteria...
متن کاملRapid detection of urinary tract infections using isotachophoresis and molecular beacons.
We present a novel assay for rapid detection and identification of bacterial urinary tract infections using isotachophoresis (ITP) and molecular beacons. We applied on-chip ITP to extract and focus 16S rRNA directly from bacterial lysate and used molecular beacons to achieve detection of bacteria specific sequences. We demonstrated detection of E. coli in bacteria cultures as well as in patient...
متن کاملPediatric urinary tract infections.
Urinary tract infection in the pediatric population can lead to significant morbidity if not treated promptly and appropriately. All first infections may signify possible underlying anatomic or functional abnormality and require imaging of the lower and upper tracts. Accurate diagnosis of UTIs requires a properly collected quantitative urine culture. Treatment should be tailored to the pathogen...
