Community Acquired Urinary Tract Infections

Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns In Community Acquired Urinary Tract Infections.

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequent disease for which patients seek medical care. The antimicrobial agents causing UTI and their sensitivity patterns have remarkably changed throughout the world over the past few years. Hence, the present study was designed to explore the uropathogens and their susceptibility to various molecules in our region. METHODS This descripti...

Diabetes and Risk of Community-Acquired Respiratory Tract Infections, Urinary Tract Infections, and Bacteremia

This review provides an update on the risk of several important community-acquired infections seen in patients with diabetes: respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and bacteremia. Respiratory tract infections: Recent epidemiological evidence shows a modest (1.25 to 1.75-fold) risk increase for hospitalization with pneumonia associated with diabetes. The increase of risk for tu...

Impact of urinary catheterization on geriatric inpatients with community-acquired urinary tract infections.

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections commonly cause hospitalizations in community-dwelling geriatric populations. Our aim was to understand the impact of urinary catheterization on geriatric inpatients with community-acquired urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). METHODS Retrospective analyses were performed using electronic discharge summaries in a rural community hospital of northeastern Taiwan...

Risk Factors for Community Acquired Extended-Spectrum Β-lactamase (ESBL) Producing Enterobacteriaceae Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Factors associated with community-acquired urinary tract infections among adults attending assessment centre, Mulago Hospital Uganda.

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common medical problem affecting the general population and thus commonly encountered in medical practice, with the global burden of UTIs at about 150 million people. Because uropathogens largely originate from colonic flora, they are easy to predict, and this is the rationale for empirical treatment in Community Acquired-UTI (CA-UTIs). With the i...
