چکیده
Asymptomatic bacteriuria or candiduria No symptoms of UTI E. coli, K. pneumoniae, other Enterobactericeae, Enterococcus spp., Candida Treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria is generally not recommended. Pyuria alone is not an indication for treatment. If a urethral catheter is in place, removal is recommended. Treatment is recommended in the following settings: pregnancy, prior to traumatic genitourinary procedures (e.g. cystoscopy, TURP), and in some renal transplant patients. Uncomplicated cystitis Symptoms of bladder infection in a nonpregnant woman E. coli, K. pneumoniae, other Enterobactericeae First line: nitrofurantoin c

Prevalence and Pattern of Antibiotic Resistance of Escherichia Coli Causing Urinary Tract Infections in Patients Referring to a Laboratory in Kermanshah
Introduction: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is among the primary cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). This study was conducted to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern of E. coli isolates from UTIs in Kermanshah. Methods: In this study, 180 midstream urine samples were collected from outpatients for five months. Based on differential biochemical tests such as oxidase, Indole,...
متن کاملResistance patterns of Escherichia coli causing urinary tract infection
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases and Escherichia coli is its common cause. The aim of this study was to assess the resistance patterns of E.coli in urinary tract infections and to determine the susceptibility of E.coli to commonly used antimicrobials and also to evaluate the options for empirical treatment of UTI. Methods: This stud...
متن کاملA comparative study of the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamaseproducing Escherichia coli among urinary and fecal Escherichia coli isolates of women with urinary tract infection in Kerman city
Background & Aim: Important challenge for treatment of urinary tract infections is the spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Escherichia coli. Therefore, the frequencies of main beta-lactamase genes, resistance to beta-lactams and the ability of ESBLs production in urinary and fecal Escherichia coli of women with urinary tract infections were compared. Methods: In 60 Es...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effect of IDR-1018 antimicrobial peptide and chitosan nanoparticles on imipenem susceptible and resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients with urinary tract infections from ICU
Background and aim: Excessive use of antibiotics has significantly increased resistance to common antibiotics in the treatment of urinary tract infections. In the present study, antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan nanoparticles and peptide IDR-1018 was evaluated against P. aeruginosa isolates. Methods: In the present study, 20 resistant and 20 sensitive P. aeruginosa isolates to imipenem were ...
