BACKGROUND Lactobacilli are the dominant bacteria of the vaginal flora and possess antimicrobial properties that regulate other urogenital microbiota. Incomplete cure and recurrence of genitourinary infections lead to a shift in the local flora from a predominance of lactobacilli to coliform uropathogens. Use of Lactobacillus-containing probiotics to restore commensal vaginal flora has been pro...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the second most common infection in humans after those involving the respiratory tract. This results not only in huge annual economic costs, but in decreased workforce productivity and high patient morbidity. Most infections are caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Antibiotic treatment is generally effective for eradication of the infecting strain; h...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in childhood are common and may be difficult to diagnose because of non-specific symptoms and technical problems with urine collection. Active management is important because UTIs may cause permanent renal scarring in young children. AIM To determine how general practitioners (GPs) manage children with suspected UTIs. METHOD A postal questionnaire ...

Changes in the indigenous vaginal microflora with uropathogenic bacteria can predispose women to frequently recurring bacterial cystitis. Lactobacilli used as probiotics have played an important role in preventing the colonization of pathogenic bacteria in the vagina. A prospective clinical pilot study was performed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of Lactobacillus vaginal suppositories ...

bladder calculi, a rare condition in the pediatric population, occur most commonly as a result of either migration from the kidney or urinary stasis in the bladder. we report the case of a 3-year-old boy with recurrent urinary tract infections (uti) secondary to bladder calculi formation on the sutures from a previous herniorrhaphy.a 3-year-old boy with previous history of herniorrhaphy present...

A 19-year-old man with a history of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) due to Escherichia coli, chronic urinary obstructive symptoms, and incomplete bladder emptying since childhood presented to Sina Hospital. The patient did not mention any history of the urethral trauma, instrumentation, or surgical intervention. Physical examination revealed a massive bladder distention up to the umbili...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are prevalent in the children. Presentation of UTI vary children different ages. In infants, who cannot localize symptoms, can present with a fever whereas older urinary symptoms (dysuria, frequency, incontinence). It is important to establish clear diagnosis order treat and resolve infection antibiotics therapy prevent bacteremia, pyelonephritis, long-tern renal...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) afflict over 9 million women in America every year, often necessitating long-term prophylactic antibiotics. One risk factor for UTI is frequent sexual intercourse, which dramatically increases the risk of UTI. The mechanism behind this increased risk is unknown; however, bacteriuria increases immediately after sexual intercourse episodes, suggesting that physical...
