Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common conditions requiring medical treatment with 6-10% of all young females demonstrating bacteriuria (Raz 2001). The incidence of UTIs increases with age and 25-50% of females aged 80 or more have bacteriuria (Abrutyn et al. 1988). UTIs occur as a result of interactions between the uropathogen and host and their pathogenesis involves several...

Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are most common infection seen in community and hospital. It is important to know the causative agent antibiotic susceptibility pattern administer specific treatment prevent drug resistance. Hence, present study was conducted etiological antibiogram of symptomatic UTIs. Methods: The at a tertiary care All adult patients presented with symptoms UTI wer...

PURPOSE We determined the incidence of infectious complications (asymptomatic bacteriuria, urinary tract infection and urosepsis) in patients without associated risk factors treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed an observational, prospective cohort study between October 2010 and June 2013. We included all patients without risk factors who were ...

Aerococci uncommonly cause urinary tract (UTI) and bloodstream infections (BSI). The clinical characteristics and laboratory identification rates of Aerococcus in the Australian context are unknown. A retrospective observational cohort study of patients with positive Aerococcus cultures between 2010 and 2015 was performed. Patients were analysed according to predefined "asymptomatic bacteriuria...

The role of bacterial adherence in the persistence of bacteria in the human urinary tract was analyzed. Women with chronic symptomatic urinary tract infections were subjected to deliberate colonization with nonvirulent Escherichia coli, after eradication of their current infections. E. coli organisms were instilled into the bladder through a catheter. The strain used for colonization, E. coli 8...

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...

AIMS To evaluate the frequency of urinary tract infection in patients with suprapubic cystostomy and other complications of the procedure within 30 days of placement. METHODS Patients characteristics, indication and types of cystostomy and short term (within 30 days); complications were analyzed in 91 patients. Urine analysis and culture was done in all patients to exclude those with urinary ...

Excess perinatal morbidity and mortality continue to be major problems in developed and developing nations. Most perinatal deaths occur in infants born weighing less than 2500 g. Large expenditures of time, equipment, and personnel have led to striking reductions in neonatal mortality. However, rates of prematurity have not declined. Exploration of proven causes of prematurity and low birth wei...

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CA-UTI) is a relatively common infection, especially among older people with long-term indwelling urethral catheter. The term CA-UTI is used to refer to symptomatic urinary tract infection in individuals with indwelling catheters [1]. In general, less than 30 days with an indwelling urinary catheter is considered short term while 30 days or more is d...
