Understanding the pathogenesis of recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI) and whether it is attributable to reinfection with a new strain or relapse with the primary infecting strain is of considerable importance.
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are important health problems and predisposing causes of UTI are not entirely known.
Pivmecillinam (PIV) is a first-line antimicrobial for treatment of lower urinary tract infection in women (LUTIW).
Since antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens against current first line agents has affected the management of severe urinary tract infection, we determined the likelihood that antibiotic regimens achieve bactericidal pharmacodynamic exposures using Monte Carlo simulation for five antimicrobials (ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, piperacillin/tazobactam, ertapenem, and meropenem) commonly prescribed as initial empirical treatment of inpatients with severe community acquired urinary tract infections.
PURPOSE: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common conditions during pregnancy.
OBJECTIVES: To develop and externally validate a novel nomogram predicting recurrence risk probability at 12 months in women after an episode of urinary tract infection.
A bench model was created to measure and analyze pressures in a simulated bladder and an actual urine drainage system.
BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria are infrequent pathogens of community-acquired (CA) urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and result in an enormous economic burden.
The aims of this study were to determine the rates of in-hospital complications, discharge disposition, and length of stay for patients with varying degrees of obesity.
Background: This study was conducted to investigate the bacteriology and associated patterns of antibiotic resistance Fournier gangrene.
In the era of multidrug resistance, it is critical to utilize antibiotics in an appropriate manner and to identify new treatments or revisit the use of 'forgotten' drugs.
Antibiotics are a mainstay in the treatment of bacterial infections, though their use is a primary risk factor for the development of antibiotic resistance.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term urinary tract infection (UTI) rates after endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux and the possible risk factors for urinary infection.
Austere living conditions during deployment may put service members at greater risk for urinary tract infections (UTIs).
An approach is described for monitoring urine samples using a portable system based on chromatic techniques and for predicting urinary tract infection (UTI) from the results.
Background: Infants with RSV infections have been found to have a clinically significant rate of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
OBJECTIVE: To study the use of ertapenem delivered in an outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) hospital-based unit setting for targeted transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPBx) prophylaxis in the setting of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli rectal colonization.
PURPOSE: Prior single center studies showed that antibiotic resistance patterns differ between outpatients and inpatients.
PURPOSE: Dilating vesicoureteral reflux provokes concern for physicians and parents that often leads to corrective surgery in young children.
