Prostatic massage method versus first -void Urine samples to isolate Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum from urinary tract infection

Abstract Background and objectives: Ureaplasma urealyticum is one of the most important causes of Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) and non-specific urethritis (NSU) in men. Also Mycoplasma hominis has a role in causing NGU and NSU. The aim of this study was the detection of Mycoplasma hominis & Ureaplasma urealyticum in men suffering from NGU and NSU by prostatic massage method and first- void Ur...

ETIOLOGIC AGENTS AND DRUG SENSITI VITY IN URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS: A SURVEY OF 786 URINE CULTURES

In this survey, 786 urine cultures were studied retrospectively at Shaheed Dr. Rahnamoon Hospital in Tehran. The study showed that E. coli is the most common causative agent of urinary tract infections in both sexes, being responsible for 72% of all cases. Other etiologic microorganisms, in order of frequency, were Staphylococcus, Proteus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter and diphteroids. Approxima...
