b ackground: the prevalence of urinary tract infection (uti) is really high in the world. escherichia coli is a major agent of uti. one of the strategies for decreasing uti infections is vaccine development. as the attachment is a really important stage in colonization and infection, at- tachment inhibition has an applied strategy.  fimh protein is a major factor during bacterial colonization i...

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: diabetic patients are more susceptible to urinary tract infections (uti) than non-diabetics .this study was carried out to determine the prevalence and risk factors of urinary tract infections in type 2 diabetic women in tehran. methods: this cross sectional study was designed to examine 511 non-pregnant type 2 diabetic women using consecutive sampling during september and march 200...

background: urinary tract infection is one of the commonest infections which affect humans. half of all women have a uti in their lifetime and one fourth have recurrent infections. health behaviours can help patients to prevent urinary tract infection recurrence and changing beliefs is necessary for health behaviour change. the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of education based o...
