background and purpose: the presence of candida yeasts in urine, known as candiduria, is an indicator of infection or colonization of the urinary tract by candida species. this condition in diabetic patients can be hazardous due to diminished immune system response. the objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of candiduria in diabetic patients and to identify its causative agen...

conclusions timely detection and appropriate antibiotic therapy of afbn are essential to prevent renal abscess formation. a possible diagnosis of afbn needs to be considered in all patients being treated for febrile uti. detection and surgical correction of the underlying malformation are necessary to prevent further recurrences. case presentation here we describe a case of a 4-year-old boy adm...

background : the pathologies classified as urinary tract infections (uti) can have a deleterious effect on patients who have undergone a renal transplantation.  often recurrent utis will occur, leading to high morbidity, failure of the grafting process overall and even death.  the study presented here seeks to expand the knowledge of recurrent utis in the context of renal transplantation, what ...

background putative virulence factors are responsible for the pathogenicity of utis caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa (p. aeruginosa). resistance of p. aeruginosa to commonly used antibiotics is caused by the extreme overprescription of those antibiotics. objectives the goal of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of virulence factors and the antibiotic resistance patterns of p. a...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a significant cause of nosocomial infections, including ventilator-associated pneumonias and catheter-associated urinary tract infections. K. pneumoniae strain TOP52 #1721 (Top52) was isolated from a woman presenting with acute cystitis and subsequently characterized using various murine models of infection. Here we present the genome sequence of K. pneumoniae Top52.

Serratia marcescens is a species of Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae. S. marcescens can cause nosocomial infections, particularly catheter-associated bacteremia, urinary tract infections, and wound infections. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Serratia marcescens strain LCT-SM213, which was isolated from CGMCC 1.1857.

background: nosocomial infections are an important cause of mortality in neonatal intensive care units (nicus). therefore, in this study, the incidence and prevalence of nosocomial infections were determined in nicus of the three largest neonatal centers in northwest iran, and the causative bacteria were identified in order to provide potential solutions to control the infections in these hospi...

Trichosporon asahii is a ubiquitous fungus that has been isolated as part of human microbiota. There has been an emergence of this pathogen in recent years, causing superficial and deep seated infections. There are scarce reports of urinary tract infections in pediatric intensive care burn units caused by this agent. We describe the cases of 2 pediatric patients with prolonged hospitalization d...
