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...

Infections of the lower urinary tract are common occurrences in young women, during pregnancy, and in peri- and postmenopausal women. Because of the chronic nature of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the potential for antibiotic resistance, a natural approach to prevention and treatment is desirable. Clinical research suggests the best natural options for long-term prevention include cranber...

Infections caused by antibiotic resistant pathogens are of significant concern and are associated with higher mortality and morbidity. Nitrofurantoin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic and is effectively used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli, Klebsiella sp., Enterobacter sp., Enterococcus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus. It interfere with the synthesis of cell w...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain a common clinical problem in both the community and healthcare-associated settings. Each patient should be carefully assessed to ensure that a correct diagnosis is made and that antimicrobial therapy is appropriately prescribed--defined as using a clinically indicated agent in the correct dose and route of administration, for the correct duration--for symp...

Nearly 15% to 25% of patients in general hospitals have a catheter at some timeduring their stay. Up to 97% of nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are relatedto catheter. The type of bacteremia is usually polymicrobial which makes the treatmentmore difficult. Previous studies showed an increase in mortality from bacteremia in thesepatients. The aim of the present study was to compare the...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections, representing a massive burden on healthcare systems and accounting for significant morbidity expenditure. As bacteria generally cause UTIs, primary therapy is defined by antibiotics, whose wide use can antibiotic resistance. In this scenario, using nutraceuticals to manage UTIs an attractive alternative. This study ...

Background: urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most important bacterial infections among children throughout the world. The study aimed to estimate the cost of hospitalization associated with pediatric UTIs in Kermanshah province for the years of 2013 and 2014. Methods and materials: this was a cross sectional and descriptive study. The study subjects included all those aged 20 year...
