Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is a condition in which bacteria are present in a noncontaminated urine sample collected from a patient without signs or symptoms related to the urinary tract.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections, accounting for 0.9% of all ambulatory visits in the United States.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most common cause of community- and hospital-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs).

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of carbapenem versus non-carbapenem antimicrobial therapy for pediatric urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae.

AIMS: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is the necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genital area and presents a high mortality rate.

PURPOSE: Cycloserine has been used previously in some areas of the world for the treatment of urinary tract infections.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - This article is from a small prospective observational study that shows pivmecillinam (as one of few oral available drugs) to retain its clinical effect in lower UTIs caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

A previously healthy 64-year-old man developed an Escherichia coli spinal epidural abscess (SEA) isolated to the cervical vertebrae posturinary tract infection 9 days previously.

Microbiological confirmation of a urinary tract infection (UTI) takes 24-48 h.

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rare surgical emergency and a life-threatening condition with a rapidly progressive gangrene defined as a necrotizing fasciitis of the perineal or genital areas leading to septic shock and death if untreated.

The pain response to urinary tract infection is largely uncharacterized, but the symptomatic response to urinary tract infection contrasts with the lack of pain response among individuals with asymptomatic bacteriuria.

OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical and economic outcomes between patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species (ESBL-EK) versus patients with non-ESBL-EK UTI.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are primarily caused by Escherichia coli with the patient's own faecal flora acting as a reservoir for the infecting E. coli.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether nitrofurantoin prophylaxis prevents postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI) in patients receiving transurethral catheterization after pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is arguably the most common infection in the long term care (LTC) setting.

The aim of this article is to improve the treatment of patients with complete skin loss of the penile shaft after Fournier's gangrene or hidradenitis suppurativa using modern biomatrices and topical negative pressure therapy.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - Community-onset acute pyelonephritis (CO-APN) is a common bacterial infection.

A population-based study was performed to investigate the efficacy of mecillinam treatment of community-acquired urinary tract infections (CA-UTI) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli.

INTRODUCTION: European Section for Infections in Urology has been conducting an annual prevalence survey investigating various aspects of healthcare-associated urinary tract infections (HAUTI) since 2003.

Achieving an aesthetic appearance of the scrotum after extensive Fournier's gangrene is a reconstructive challenge.
