Providencia stuartii is associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) in catheterized patients. Here we report an abscess containing P. stuartii in a patient with a history of UTI, renal stones, and stent placement. This organism was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene sequencing following biochemical identific...

INTRODUCTION: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common non-epidemic bacterial infection in adults and children. Infections to the kidneys and scarring are well established complications of infection of the upper urinary tract in children and can lead to hypertension and renal failure [1]. The reference standard for confirmation of UTI in children is growth of a single organism on a cult...

The normal urinary tract is resistant to colonisation by bacteria.' Presence of significant bacteriuria (> 105 bacteria/ml) is, however, not necessarily indicative of an infection of the urinary tract with serious consequences to the host. In fact, urinary tract infections (UTI) should be regarded as a group of infectious diseases of varying clinical severity and prognosis and therefore they de...

Complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) has always been a challenging subject to diagnose and treat. New, less invasive, techniques have been introduced in the last decade with the development of the new generations of high definition endoscopes and the robotic platforms to treat the surgically correctable pathologies underlying UTIs. This review will discuss the different underlying patholog...

Group B streptococcus (GBS), also known as Streptococcus agalactiae is a Gram-positive, ┚hemolytic, chain-forming bacterium and a commensal within the genital tract flora in approximately 25% of healthy adult women (Campbell et al., 2000). The organism is a leading cause of serious infection in newborns, pregnant women, and older persons with chronic medical illness (Baker et al., Edwards&Baker...

Abstract Kawasaki disease (KD, typical/atypical/partial) admissions (n = 644) were surveyed from 2017 to 2020 and compared urinary tract infection (UTI) COVID-19 in 2020. KD decreased by 27% median age 2020, whereas UTI remained steady. showed a seasonality with peak April nadir February-March. All KD/KD-related pediatric intensive care unit cases tested negative for COVID-19, no multisystem in...

BACKGROUND Actinobaculum schaalii was first described as a causative agent for human infection in 1997. Since then it has mainly been reported causing urinary tract infections (UTI) in elderly individuals with underlying urological diseases. Isolation and identification is challenging and often needs molecular techniques. A. schaalii is increasingly reported as a cause of infection in humans, h...

* Department of Pediatric, College of Medicine, Hawler Medical University, Erbil, Iraq. Introduction Urinary tract infection(UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections of childhood and it is associated with significant acute morbidity and long term illness such as arterial hypertension and chronic renal failure. It has been suggested that early diagnosis, proper investigation, adequate...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infectious diseases of humans, with approximately 150 million cases estimated to occur globally every year. UTIs usually start as a bladder infection (cystitis), but can develop into acute kidney infection (pyelonephritis) and even infection of the bloodstream (urosepsis). The high frequency of UTIs in community and nosocomial settings ...
