candida glabrata was thought to be a primarily non-pathogenic organism. however, with the ever-increasing population of immunocompromised individuals, it is considered to be an opportunistic pathogen. patients with spinal cord injuries often using a long-term urinary catheter and are high risk for urinary tract infections. this case report describes a patient with spinal cord injury (thoracic r...

abstract bachground and objectives: the ability of adherence to the surface of host cell is very critical in the colonization of microbial pathogens. it has been revealed that e. coli strains that infect urinary tracts have different fimbrea such as i, s, fic, dr, and fimbrial adhesions. material and methods: in this study, 363 urine samples were obtained from patients with urinary tract infect...

objective(s):urinary tract infection (uti) caused by bacteria is one of the most frequent infections in human population. inappropriate use of antibiotics, often leads to appearance of drug resistance in bacteria. however, use of probiotic bacteria has been suggested as a partial replacement. this study was aimed to assess the antagonistic effects of lactobacillus standard strains against bacte...

susceptibility pattern of organisms causing urinary tract infection (uti) in neonate would potentially improve the clinical management by enabling clinicians to choose most reasonable first line empirical antibiotics. this study aimed to this end by studying isolated organisms from neonates with uti in an inpatient setting.current retrospective study has recruited all cases of neonatal uti diag...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility pattern as well as the phenotypic and genotypic biofilm formation ability of staphylococcus aureus isolates from patients with urinary tract infection (uti). methods: a total of 39 isolates of s. aureus were collected from patients with uti. the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the isolates were determined b...

just regarding different risk factors for antibiotic resistant uropathogenes, it seems justice to improve diagnostic power for drug resistant uropathogenes and well appropriate empirical therapy. 300 and 145 cases of clinicopathologically diagnosed nosocomial and spinal cord injured (sci) associated urinary tract infection (uti), respectively, were considered as our samples included in our 24 m...

results amc-susceptible esbl-producing escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae and k. oxytoca were identified as the causative agents in 31, 14, and 1 patients, respectively. thirty-nine (84.7%) out of 46 patients were successfully treated with oral amc. additionally, 2 (4.3%) patients’ urine cultures turned to be negative, though their clinical complaints and leukocyturia had continued. in the...

conclusions the trat gene and pai markers were highly prevalent among upec strains isolated from patients in kashan, iran; therefore these determinants could be used as targets for prophylactic interventions. also there was a high level of resistance against the antibiotics commonly used for urinary tract infection treatment. to reach better therapeutic outcomes, treatment regimens have to be m...

background and objective:  early diagnosis of streptococcus agalactiae remains difficult, since symptoms are very nonspecific. its frequency has not been completely investigated in urinary tract pathogen of pregnant ant and non pregnant women in iran. the aim of this study was determining the frequency of group b streptococci in female patients. materials and methods: a total of 11800 urine sp...

background and purpose: posterior urethral valve (puv) is one of the most severe urinary tract anomalies presenting as antenatal hydronephrosis that could lead to severe dilatation and functional impairment of one or both kidneys. the aim of this study was to analyze our experience on patients with a diagnosis of puv. materials and methods: in this prospective study neonates with a diagnosis of...
