We report a nosocomial outbreak of urinary tract infection by extremely drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, susceptible only to colistin. Infection in three patients followed urodynamic studies.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are commonly suspected in residents of long-term care (LTC) facilities, and it has been common practice to prescribe antibiotics to these patients, even when they are asymptomatic.
A short-cut review was carried out to establish whether the addition of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to antibiotics is of benefit to patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI).
OBJECTIVE: To establish the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis prior to cystoscopy in outpatients in decreasing the incidence of post-procedure urinary tract infection.
Epididymitis and orchitis normally co-exist with isolated epididymitis being more common than an isolated orchitis.
BACKGROUND: Patients with poorly regulated diabetes mellitus may develop severe infectious complications.
This study examines the possible association between urinary tract infection (UTI) and urinary tract cancer (UTC).
The "A-type" proanthocyanidins in cranberry fruit (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) are bioactive components associated with prevention of urinary tract infections (UTI).
OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical and laboratory characteristics of urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli).
Despite considerable controversy about their effects, cranberries in various forms have been used widely for several decades to prevent as well as treat urinary tract infections (UTIs).
BACKGROUND: Identifying the risk factors is important in prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children.
PURPOSE: Multi-species probiotic preparations have been suggested as having a wide spectrum of application, although few studies have compared their efficacy with that of individual component strains at equal concentrations.
DESIGN: We conducted an investigation after identifying a cluster of 4 serious infections following transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate (TRUBP) during a 2-month period.
The increasing resistance of uropathogens to antibiotics and recognition of the generally self-limiting nature of uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) suggest that it is time to reconsider empirical treatment of UTI using antibiotics.
Complicated urinary tract infection is a challenging infection, since cure is difficult and either persistence or recurrence is common.
AIM: For frequency Escherichia (E.) coli is the agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTI) are mainly related to urinary catheterisation.
PURPOSE: We characterize the current national patterns of antibiotic resistance of outpatient pediatric urinary tract infection.
AIM: To investigate factors associated with poor nutritional status in older people living in residential care facilities.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common clinical problem, especially among women.
