Significance of anaerobic bacteria in postoperative infection after radical cystectomy and urinary diversion or reconstruction, "Beyond the Abstract," by Yoshiki Hiyama, MD

A persistent, symptomatic urinary tract infection with multiple "negative" urine cultures - Abstract
While urinary tract infections (UTIs) are often suspected on the basis of clinical symptoms and the finding of pyuria on urinalysis, the documentation of a bacterial UTI is based on the significant growth ofa uropathogen on an agar medium incubated at 35-37 degrees C.

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.
Towards evidence based emergency medicine: Best BETs from the Manchester Royal Infirmary. BET 3: Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to provide symptomatic relief in uncomplicated urinary tract infection - Abstract
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).
Efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing cystoscopy: A randomized clinical trial - Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To establish the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis prior to cystoscopy in outpatients in decreasing the incidence of post-procedure urinary tract infection.
Managing epididymo-orchitis in general practice - Abstract

The "A-type" proanthocyanidins in cranberry fruit (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) are bioactive components associated with prevention of urinary tract infections (UTI).

The effects of cranberries on preventing urinary tract infections - Abstract
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).
The association between urinary tract infection and idiopathic hypercalciuria in children - Abstract
BACKGROUND: Identifying the risk factors is important in prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children.
Comparative in vitro inhibition of urinary tract pathogens by single- and multi-strain probiotics - Abstract
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.
Alternative approaches to conventional treatment of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women - Abstract
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.
Treatment of complicated urinary tract infections with an emphasis on drug-resistant gram-negative uropathogens - Abstract
Complicated urinary tract infection is a challenging infection, since cure is difficult and either persistence or recurrence is common.
