Cent Eur J Urol 2013; 66: 329 10.5173/ceju.2013.03.art20 Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common problem in postmenopausal women. The incidence is higher in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and very often it can be manifested by asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) only. The prevalence of ASB is usually correlated with the length of DM and long–term complications, rather than metabolic parame...

Background: An increasing number of studies show low diversity of the gut microbiome in those with chronic diseases such as obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and allergy. Manipulation of the microbiota may promote health. However, the adult microbiota is stable and may be difficult to change. Understanding the fixed and modifiable factors, which determine colonization in early life, may prov...

Streptococcus agalactiae or Group B (GBS) is an important pathogen, which can cause serious illness and sometimes death especially in newborns, pregnant women people with compromised immune system. The major risk factor for neonatal disease vaginal colonization of GBS during pregnancy delivery. 1) To study the incidence among women. 2) compare efficacy sheep blood agar vs selective medium like ...

Microbial colonization of the infant gut is unstable and shows a wide range of diversity between individuals. Gut microbiota play an important role in the development of the immune system, and an imbalance in these organisms can affect health, including an increased risk of allergic diseases. Microbial colonization of young infants is affected by the delivery mode at birth and the consequent al...
