Infections
Clinical and microbiological characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae from community-acquired recurrent urinary tract infections - Abstract
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.
Changes in urine levels of substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide and calcitonin-gene-related peptide in patients with urinary tract infections - Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are important health problems and predisposing causes of UTI are not entirely known.
Mecillinam resistance and outcome of pivmecillinam treatment in uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection in women - Abstract
Pivmecillinam (PIV) is a first-line antimicrobial for treatment of lower urinary tract infection in women (LUTIW).
Pharmacodynamic profiling of commonly prescribed antimicrobial drugs against Escherichia coli isolates from urinary tract - Abstract
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.
Microbial etiology and susceptibility of community urinary tract infections during pregnancy in the south of Brazil - Abstract
PURPOSE: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common conditions during pregnancy.
Development and validation of a nomogram predicting recurrence risk in women with symptomatic urinary tract infection - Abstract
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.
Foley drainage tubing configuration affects bladder pressure: A bench model study - Abstract
A bench model was created to measure and analyze pressures in a simulated bladder and an actual urine drainage system.
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing bacteria causing community-acquired urinary tract infections in children - Abstract
BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria are infrequent pathogens of community-acquired (CA) urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children.
Cost-effectiveness of cranberries vs antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections in premenopausal women: A randomized clinical trial - Abstract
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and result in an enormous economic burden.
All-cause in-hospital complications and urinary tract infections increased in obese patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty - Abstract
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.
Emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in patients with Fournier gangrene - Abstract
Background: This study was conducted to investigate the bacteriology and associated patterns of antibiotic resistance Fournier gangrene.
Methenamine: A forgotten drug for preventing recurrent urinary tract infection in a multidrug resistance era - Abstract
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.
Antibiotic resistance in pediatric urology - Abstract
Antibiotics are a mainstay in the treatment of bacterial infections, though their use is a primary risk factor for the development of antibiotic resistance.
The long-term incidence of urinary tract infection after endoscopic management of vesicoureteral reflux - Abstract
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.
Urinary tract infections during deployment, active component, U.S. Armed Forces, 2008-2013 - Abstract
Austere living conditions during deployment may put service members at greater risk for urinary tract infections (UTIs).
A portable system for identifying urinary tract infection in primary care using a PC-based chromatic technique - Abstract
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.
Comparison of urinary tract infection rates among 2- to 12-month-old febrile infants with RSV infections using 1999 and 2011 AAP Diagnostic Criteria - Abstract
Background: Infants with RSV infections have been found to have a clinically significant rate of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Use of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy prophylaxis in the setting of community-associated multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli rectal colonization - Abstract
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.
A comparison of inpatient versus outpatient resistance patterns of pediatric urinary tract infection - Abstract
PURPOSE: Prior single center studies showed that antibiotic resistance patterns differ between outpatients and inpatients.
