Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections, affecting 150 million people each year worldwide. High recurrence rates and increasing antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens are making it imperative to develop alternative strategies for the treatment and prevention of this common infection. In this Review, we discuss how understanding the: (i) molecular and...

We present the use of functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to combat multi-drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria. Tuning of the functional groups on the nanoparticle surface provided gold nanoparticles that were effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive uropathogens, including multi-drug-resistant pathogens. These AuNPs exhibited low toxicity to mammalian cells, and bacterial res...

Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in primary care. Whilst primary care physicians are called to be antimicrobial stewards, there is limited primary care antibiotic resistance surveillance and physician antibiotic prescription data available in southern Chinese primary care. The study aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance rate and antibiotic prescription patterns i...

UTI is one of the commonest infections encountered by clinicians and Extended— spectrum beta-lactamases in UTI patients have emerged as a major threat worldwide. Due to extensive use of β-lactam antibiotics over the last several decades in the clinical practice various β-lactamases have emerged and despite the worldwide availability of antimicrobial agents. UTI has become difficult to treat bec...

Urinary tract infection is the second most common of human body. The uropathogens causing UTI vary by clinical syndromes but are usually enteric gram-negative rods that have migrated to urinary tract. Copaiva officinalis and Equisetum hyemale two important Homoeopathic remedies indicated in their source vegetable kingdom. This study was conducted with intention know effectiveness estimating uri...
