BACKGROUND Limited information is available regarding the vaginal microbiota of normal spayed dogs and spayed dogs with recurrent UTIs. Vaginal lactic acid-producing bacteria (LAB) have been associated with decreased frequency of recurrent urinary tract infection in women and may have a protective role within the urinary tract of female dogs. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Spayed dogs with historical ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of long-term prophylactic antibiotics for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in children through meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. METHODS Electronic databases and reference lists of review articles were searched for relevant trials. Outcome measures were recurrence of symptomatic UTI, repeat positive urine culture, new or d...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Approximately 50%-60% of adult women experience a UTI during their lifetime. Further‐ more, a significant number of patients can be characterized as having recurrent UTIs if they meet the criteria of ≥2 uncomplicated UTIs in 6 months or ≥3 positive cultures within the preceding 12 months. Applying this defi...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article type: Original Article Background: The pathologies classified as urinary tract infections (UTI) can have a deleterious effect on patients who have undergone a renal transplantation. Often recurrent UTIs will occur, leading to high morbidity, failure of the grafting process overall and even death. The study presented here seeks to expand the knowledge of recurrent U...

The treatment of recurrent lower urinary tract infections in young female patients remains controversial (Naber, 2000; Stamatiou, 2005; Wagenlehner, 2009). Recurrent lower UTI is often associated with sexual intercourse. The association of UTI with sexual intercourse poses both medical and psychological problems for these patients (Stamatiou, 2005). Usually these patients are young females. Rep...

Context Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common; over half of all adult women will have a UTI, with a third having recurrent UTI. Women at higher risk of developing recurrence are older, postmenopausal, and incontinent and have cystocoeles with high postvoid residual volumes. Preventative strategies using prophylactic antibiotics may result in adverse side effects, antibiotic resistance and Clo...

The host determinants of susceptibility to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) are poorly understood. We investigated whether the susceptibility is associated with abnormalities in the immunological defense and further explored the linkage to vaginal microbiota. For this purpose, we compared vaginal, urine, and blood samples collected during a disease-free period from 22 women with recurre...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial infection in women in general and in postmenopausal women in particular. Two groups of elderly women with recurrent UTI should be differentiated regarding age and general status: healthy, young postmenopausal women aged 50 to 70 years who are neither institutionalized or catheterized and elderly institutionalized women with or without a...

The symptoms and signs of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the newborn are non-specific. We carried out a retrospective investigation of 30 neonates in whom urinary tract infections were diagnosed by urinary culture. In our study, UTI was a little more common in boys (56%). Eight babies (27%) had low birth weights (less then 2,500 gm). In addition to fever, gastrointestinal tract symptoms and j...
