Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the predominant etiological agent of uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI), manifested by inflammation of the urinary bladder, in humans and is a major global public health concern. Molecular pathogenesis of UPEC has been primarily examined using murine models of UTI. Translational research to develop novel therapeutics against this major pathogen,...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infection contracted by renal allograft recipients. In patients of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), cyst infection presents a complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenge especially in the post transplant period. Accurate diagnosis forms the cornerstone in salvaging the graft from potentially catastrophic outcome. We describe...

INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infection (UTI) is among the most frequent complications after urinary tract surgical procedures, mainly when catheter placement is necessary. Although the use of American cranberry has been related with a reduced risk of UTI, there is no study reporting the value of its prevention effect against catheter-associated urinary tract infections. MATERIAL AND METHODS A p...

OBJECTIVE Establish prevalence rates of urinary tract infection (UTI) in febrile infants and young girls in an emergency department (ED) by demographics and clinical parameters. METHODS Cross-sectional prevalence survey of 2411 (83%) of all infants younger than 12 months and girls younger than 2 years of age presenting to the ED with a fever (>/=38.5 degrees C) who did not have a definite sou...

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as a condition of glucose intolerance that found during pregnancy. In pregnant women, urinary tract infection (UTI) one the most common bacterial infections can be found. The worsened by it was shown risk UTI in women with (27.6%) higher than those without (3%-10.1%). This study aimed to present case gestational and infection.
 Cas...

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the second most common infectious disease in humans. Increasing antimicrobial resistance emphasizes the urgent need for quick and reliable diagnostic tests for evidence based antibiotic use/therapy. Increasing trend in resistance to common antibiotics used for treatment of UTI due to polymicrobial infection as opposed to monomicrobial infection makes it importan...

Background: One of the lithotripsy complications is urinary tract infection (UTI) and sepsis after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The aim was to study the prophylactic effect of antibiotics on UTI after ESWL. Methods: This randomized double-blind clinical trial was carried out on 600 patients admitted to Babol Clinic hospital in 2014-2015. Patients were randomly divided into tre...

background and objectives: urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in the world. the majority of utis are caused by uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) strains. fimh and flic are the most important virulence factors of upec. to date, any ideal vaccine against uti has not been approved for human use and we need to test new targets to develop an ideal vaccine against ...

(3) To determine factors predisposing to urinary tract infection. METHODS This is a non randomized, prospective observational study done in tertiary care set up of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi. Data collection ...
