Urinary tract infections are gaining much importance among community acquired infections. Poor personal hygiene may act as a contributory factor in such frequent developing countries. The condition becomes serious with antimicrobial resistance uropathogens. Specifically, surge of Extended Spectrum beta Lactamase (ESBL) producers poses concern the available treatment options. Present work was ai...

SummaryBackground Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common hospital-acquired infections, with an estimated 75% of UTIs caused by urinary catheters. In addition to significant healthcare costs and patient morbidity, escalating antimicrobial resistance reported uropathogens make investigation efficacious new strategies urgent importance. Aim To examine ...

Background: Due to the reduction of their immunity, people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are more susceptible acquiring urinary tract infections (UTI). Moreover, emergence drug-resistant bacterial uropathogens has grown widely and now constitutes a severe clinical problem among HIV-positive patients. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at ART clini...

Four chromogenic urine culture media were compared to culture on blood agar, MacConkey agar, and CLED (cysteine-, lactose-, and electrolyte-deficient) agar for detection of uropathogens in 1,200 urine specimens. After 2 nights of incubation, 96% of all isolates were recovered on blood agar, 96% were recovered on CLED agar, 92% were recovered on CPS ID2, 96% were recovered on CHROMagar Orientati...

bacteria and of bacterial DNA in bladders of asymptomatic adult women, the viability of these bacteria remains unclear. Unfortunately, both methods would be insufficient to differentiate between two distinct previously hypothesized scenarios: (1) that diverse populations of bacteria can colonize the adult female bladder and influence urinary tract health (Maskell; Fairley: Others) and (2) that ...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are considered as one of the most common groups of infections in humans and affecting either the upper (kidneys--pyelonephritis) or the lower (bladder--cystitis) part of the urinary tract (Thomson and Armitage, 2010). The gastrointestinal tract is a reservoir from which uropathogens emerge. Reflecting this, Enterobacteriaceae are the most important cause of UTI in...

The number of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in community-acquired urinary tract infections worldwide is probably underestimated because of the technical difficulties encountered with their detection. In this study, out of 5,672 urine samples analyzed, 916 were positive for uropathogens, 472 of them being enterobacteria of which 7.6% produced β-lactamases. Analysis of the isolated from 36 pa...
