Background: Based on biochemical properties, Enterobacter cloacae represents a large complex of at least 13 variant species, subspecies, and genotypes that progressively identified as the most species causing hospital-acquired infections. The aim of this study was to determine the relevance between phylogenetically related strains within the E. cloacae complex and the frequency of urinary tract...

Infections of the urinary tract are among the most frequent of all infections, especially in women (Kass, 1956). Most studies of the prevalence of symptoms referable to the urinary tract have been based on patients consulting their practitioners. However, such symptoms do not always lead to a woman attending a doctor. There do not appear to be any published estimates of the prevalence of urinar...

two brothers with didmoad syndrome are reported. the older brother has diabetes mellitus (type i), diabetes insipidus, optic atrophy, deafness and atonia of the urinary tract with severe symptoms such as diabetic ketoacidosis and frequent urinary tract infections. his younger brother had the same manifestations but with less severity. we report the findings of our two patients and compare them ...

Background and Objective: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in children. Arbitrary use of antibiotics has increased the resistant strains and transmits these resistant factors to other pathogens. Therefore, this study was designed to follow the resistance trend in 9-years in children with urinary tract infections referred to the Amirkola Children's hospital (Nor...

Up to 7 percent of girls and 2 percent of boys will have a symptomatic, culture-confirmed urinary tract infection by six years of age. Urinary tract infection may be suspected because of urinary symptoms in older children or because of fever, nonspecific symptoms, or failure to thrive in infants. Urine dipstick analysis is useful for ruling out urinary tract infections in cases with low clinica...

Although most urinary tract infections in adults are uncomplicated and respond rapidly to empirical antimicrobial therapy, they represent a considerable health problem, particularly among women, in whom the annual general practice consultation rate for cystitis and urinary infection has been estimated as 62-5/1000.' Occasionally, urinary tract infections cause serious and permanent renal damage...

The aim of treatment of infections of the urinary tract is not only to procure symptomatic relief of the acute attack, but also to prevent recurrences and to preserve renal function. Infections are sometimes associated with a structural abnormality which may be amenable to surgery. Investigation is required to detect these abnormalities. It is not difficult to relieve symptoms in the typical at...

Positive correlations were found among the appearance of adenylate kinase activity in the urine and the existence of bacteriuria, the Fairley test, and other criteria of urinary infection. Since the adenylate kinase isozymes of human tissues are organ specific and can be distinguished from one another, the appearance of adenylate kinase isozymes in urine was used in this study to identify the e...

Symptoms suggesting infection of the urinary tract are common. In domiciliary practice they are encountered in 12 to 20 of every 1,000 consultations. During the past fifteen years quantitative bacteriology has shown the important role of bacteriuria in causing these symptoms. At a time when considerable medical resources are being invested in treating terminal renal failure, interest in a preve...
