multidrug resistance profile of urinary tract infected gram positive pathogenic bacterial isolates

Phytochemical analysis of some herbal extracts and assessed their antimicrobial effect on the bacterial isolates from urinary tract infected patients

Increasing antibiotic resistance among urinary tract isolates.

A five year retrospective study was performed to identify organisms isolated from the urinary tract of 2815 children in the community and 1314 children with underlying renal problems and their antimicrobial susceptibilities. Isolates from children in the latter group were generally more resistant to commonly used antibiotics. In particular, up to a third of E coli isolates from children in the ...

Preponderance of bacterial isolates in urine of HIV-positive malaria-infected pregnant women with urinary tract infection.

INTRODUCTION This study examined HIV and malaria co-infection as a risk factor for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in pregnancy. The study group included 74 pregnant women, 20 to 42 years of age, who attended the antenatal clinic at the Specialist Hospital at Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria. METHODOLOGY Forty-four of the pregnant women were either HIV seropositive with malaria infection (HIV+Mal+)...

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Gram-positive non-urinary isolates to fosfomycin.

We aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of fosfomycin against Gram-positive non-urinary isolates collected at the microbiological laboratory of the University Hospital of Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in 2008. Susceptibility testing was performed by the disk diffusion method for a total of 1846 isolates; 1275 isolates (69.1%) were susceptible to fosfomycin. Specifically, 416/419 Staphylococ...

Gram-Positive Uropathogens, Polymicrobial Urinary Tract Infection, and the Emerging Microbiota of the Urinary Tract.

Gram-positive bacteria are a common cause of urinary-tract infection (UTI), particularly among individuals who are elderly, pregnant, or who have other risk factors for UTI. Here we review the epidemiology, virulence mechanisms, and host response to the most frequently isolated Gram-positive uropathogens: Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Streptococcus agalactiae. We also...

Profile of Urinary Tract Infection and Quinolone Resistance among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species isolates

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common condition causing individuals to seek medical consultation. [1,2] It is considered as one of the major health problem next to respiratory and gastro intestinal infections in human. The primary organisms that cause UTI are bacteria and the diseases ranging from asymptomatic to severe sepsis affecting millions of people every year. [3,4,5] About 15...
