background: urinary tract infection (uti) is a common cause for diseases in infants. various studies have suggested that infants with uti benefit from a lower rate of breastfeeding compared to control groups. our experimental evidence showed if breastfed infants are infected with a uti, their response to treatment is faster and better. objectives: the aim of this study is to compare bacterial r...

conclusions our results showed that broad-spectrum antibiotics such as imipenem, meropenem, fosfomycin, cefoperazone/sulbactam, and vancomycin would be the first line and the most effective drugs for the empirical treatment of urinary tract pathogens due to their higher resistance rates against other drugs like cephalexin, cephradine, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and norfloxacin. patients and m...

patients and methods in this retrospective study, all urine samples of children hospitalized with urinary tract infection (288 patients, aged 1mon -14.5 years) during october 2008 to may 2011 were included in the study. after bacteria were identified by standard methods, antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a panel of antimicrobial agents. results the most of patients were g...

conclusions the results of this study indicated that more than 90% of e. coli isolates harbored the fimh gene. the high binding ability of fimh could result in the increased pathogenicity of e. coli; thus, fimh could be used as a possible diagnostic marker and/or vaccine candidate. materials and methods a total of 140 isolated e. coli strains from patients with uti were identified using biochem...

conclusions the lower incidence of uti in pregnant women compared to other areas of iran represents the role of climate and weather in the prevalence of uti. in addition, the increased number of low-birth-weight infants had a remarkable correlation with uti, which can influence the health of the next generation. patients and methods in this cross-sectional retrospective study, 1132 women admitt...

introduction urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in childhood. appropriate treatment of uti requires to knowledge about antibiotic resistance patterns of common uropathogens. the aim of this study was to determine demographic, symptoms, signs and antibiotic resistance pattern in admitted infants with clinically diagnosis of uti in 17 shahrivar hospital of rasht ma...

background and objective: given the widespread use of paraffin in the treatment of constipation in chil-dren and the possibility of long duration of drug use and the risk of drug leakage, the risk of urinary infection in these patients is considerable. the aim of this study was to determine the association between leakage of paraf-fin and the presence or exacerbation of the urinary infection an...

results among the 4,506 studied patients with urine cultures, 300 (6.65%) and 4,206 (93.35%) urine samples showed positive and negative bacterial growth, respectively. the rates of urine cultures with bacterial growth for women and men were 90.66% and 9.44%, respectively. with regard to the bacterial growth, 90.33% were gram-negative and 9.67% were gram-positive. the most common isolated agent ...

conclusions only a few number of health workers do respect hygiene rules before and after catheterization. therefore, it is necessary to train health workers involved in such activities on good hygiene practices during catheterization. results two days later, (48 hours after the catheterization), 14 patients out of 60 (23.33%) presented with a urinary infection, of which 1 patient (1.66%) was a...

purpose: urinary tract infection is acommon infectious presentation in the community practice.it is also the most common cause of antimicrobial resistance in the society. the aim of this study was to investigate the frequencyand antimicrobial resistance pattern of the uropathogens isolated from patients with urinary tract infection. materials and methods: this study was conducted on the patient...
