Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) have been deemed "reasonably preventable" by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, thereby eliminating reimbursement. Elderly trauma patients, however, are at high risk for developing urinary tract infections (UTIs) given their extensive comorbidities, immobilization, and environmental changes in the urine, which provide the ideal environment for bacterial overgrowth.

The process of normal micturition is dependent on neural integration between the central and peripheral nervous systems. In diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), impaired neural integration may lead to neurogenic bladder and lower urinary tract dysfunction.  Bladder symptoms and the need for catheterization in some patients increase the risk for urinary retention and urinary tract infection (UTI). 

Treating urinary tract infection is still a major health challenge in developing countries. Cephalosporins are one of the mainstays of therapy and third generation among these are the first line agents for treatment of complicated UTIs including those of nosocomial origin.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most frequent bacterial infections in children together with bacterial respiratory infections. Underlying diseases such as vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) also arise in some patients with UTI.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The study objective is to assess changes in treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) after implementation of recommendations based on national guidelines and local resistance rates.

Prophylactic ureteric stenting in renal transplant recipients prevents major surgical complications such as ureteric leak and obstruction on the one hand while, on the other hand, it is associated with complications like urinary tract infections (UTI), hematuria, stent migration, stent encrustation and forgotten stents.

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data.

Human infection with Raoultella ornithinolytica is rare, with only ten cases having been reported previously.

We examined the usefulness of measurement of procalcitonin (PCT) for patients, who developed febrile neutropenia during cancer chemotherapy for urological cancer.

BACKGROUND: The 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics urinary tract infection (UTI) guideline suggests incorporation of a positive urinalysis (UA) into the definition of UTI.

BACKGROUND: The Emergency Department (ED) is being increasingly utilized as a pathway for management of acute conditions such as the urinary tract infections (UTIs).

BACKGROUND: Fourniers gangrene caused by synergic aerobic and anaerobic organism is a life threatening disorder.

The aim of this population-based retrospective cohort study was to investigate the onset of urinary tract infection in newborns and the associated risks of childhood asthma.

Emerging evidence challenges the long-held paradigm that the healthy bladder is sterile.

AIM: Guidelines recommend collecting urine with suprapubic aspiration or urethral catheterisation in infants with a suspected urinary tract infection (UTI), but the invasiveness of these methods continues to drive research on new urine collection devices.

Urinalysis culminates in a workload skew within the Clinical Microbiology laboratory.

INTRODUCTION: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that functions as an antioxidant.

Fungus balls have been rarely implicated as a cause of urinary tract obstruction.

OmpT is one of the members of the outer membrane protein family that has been identified as a virulence factor in most of the uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

Of 23 unique Escherichia coli strains from 10 men with febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) and their female sex partners, 6 strains (all UTI causing) were shared between partners.
