GUL, M., KURUTAS, E., CIRAGIL, P., CETINKAYA, A., KILINC, M., ARAL, M. and BUYUKBESE, M.A. Urinary Tract Infection Aggravates Oxidative Stress in Diabetic Patients. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2005, 206 (1), 1-6 ── To investigate the effect of urinary tract infection on oxidative stress in diabetic patients, we measured the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase, and lipid peroxidation levels in urine specimens of type II diabetic patents with urinary tract infection. A total of 69 patients were included into this study: 23 non-diabetic patients with urinary tract infection, 28 patients with diabetes mellitus, and 18 diabetic patients with urinary tract infection. Twenty-five healthy subjects, matched for age, sex, body mass index and smoking status were also included as control. Urine cultures were performed by the standard techniques, and all grown bacteria were identified as Escherichia coli. Antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation levels in urine were measured by spectrophotometric method. In urine samples of diabetic patients with or without urinary tract infection and in urine samples of nondiabetic patients with urinary tract infection, catalase and superoxide dismutase activities were lower and lipid peroxidation levels were higher than those of the healthy subjects (p < 0.05). Diabetic patients without urinary tract infection were similar to non-diabetic patients with urinary tract infection. Decreased antioxidant capacity and the increased levels of lipid peroxidation were profoundly higher in diabetic patients with urinary tract infection. These results indicate that urinary tract infection aggravates the oxidative stress in diabetic patients. Therefore we believe that diabetic patients with urinary tract infection need antioxidant treatment. ──── urinary tract infection; diabetes mellitus; antioxidant enzymes; lipid peroxidation; Escherichia coli © 2005 Tohoku University Medical Press

Effect of diabetes on occurrence of urinary tract infection and asymptomatic bacteriuria among diabetic and ketacidosis patients in Egypt
Diabetic patients have a higher risk of infections which is the leading trigger of diabetic ketoacidosis. The second most common infection in diabetics is urinary tract infection (UTI). Elevation of glucose level induces an inflammatory process within numerous tissues in the body leading to disturbance in cytokines level and oxidative stress. This study is divided into two parts, firstly it was...

متن کاملTrade-off between iron uptake and protection against oxidative stress: deletion of cueO promotes uropathogenic Escherichia coli virulence in a mouse model of urinary tract infection.
The periplasmic multicopper oxidase (CueO) is involved in copper homeostasis and protection against oxidative stress. Here, we show that the deletion of cueO in uropathogenic Escherichia coli increases its colonization of the urinary tract despite its increased sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide. The cueO deletion mutant accumulated iron with increased efficiency compared to its parent strain; th...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of urinary tract infection (UTI) on antioxidant systems and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels during pregnancy. We also investigated if these antioxidant systems and LPO levels differed in each trimester. One hundred forty-three nonpregnant women, as a control group, and 77 pregnant women were included in the study. Urine cultures were perform...
