BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in elderly patients can be a complex problem in terms of approach to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, because the patients often present nonspecific symptoms.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a major source of antimicrobial prescribing in the clinical setting and a potential reservoir for the emergence of resistant organisms.

In 1991, multiresistant Escherichia coli O78:H10 strains caused an outbreak of urinary tract infections in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Purple urine bag syndrome is characterized by the urinary drainage bag turning purple in patients on prolonged urinary catheterization, especially those in the bedridden state.

INTRODUCTION: We sought to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of organisms causing community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult females attending an urban emergency department (ED) and to identify risk factors for antibiotic resistance.

Study Design: Non-interventional, descriptive-observational cohorts study.

Study design: Cross sectional study, including 38 outpatients.

We examined the rate of relapse, as a variable index, in patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) who suffered from multiple relapses when using cranberry juice (UR65).

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a potentially serious threat to elderly people living in longterm care facilities.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of urinary tract infection (UTI) and its risk factors among Saudi diabetics.

Preeclampsia is an important disease of pregnancy whose exact etiology is still unknown despite continuing developments in medicine.

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern especially in many remote northern communities of Canada where antimicrobials are liberally used.

Objective: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of extubation time of indwelling urinary catheters on postoperative recovery after cesarean section.

Aims and Objectives: To develop evidence-based guidelines for adult patients in order to prevent urinary retention and to minimise bladder damage and urinary tract infection.

This study was conducted to investigate whether the length of the interval between a urinary tract infection and the performance of the voiding cystourethrogram influences the presence or severity of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).

BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common.

Fosfomycin has shown promising in vitro activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) urinary pathogens; however, clinical data are lacking.

We describe the case of a previously healthy 7-month-old male infant with urinary tract infection due to Staphylococcus epidermidis grown from two separate urine cultures.

OBJECTIVES: To improve antimicrobial prescribing behaviour of general practitioners in large-scale out-of-hours services for uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection (LUTI) in females aged 20-80 years, which is regarded as one of the most prevalent bacterial infections in primary care.
