Clinical and microbiological features of Providencia bacteremia: experience at a tertiary care hospital
BACKGROUND/AIMS Providencia species frequently colonize urinary catheters and cause urinary tract infections (UTIs); however, bacteremia is uncommon and not well understood. We investigated the clinical features of Providencia bacteremia and the antibiotic susceptibility of Providencia species. METHODS We identified cases of Providencia bacteremia from May 2001 to April 2013 at a tertiary car...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus bacteriuria as a prognosticator for outcome of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: a case-control study
BACKGROUND When Staphylococcus aureus is isolated in urine, it is thought to usually represent hematogenous spread. Because such spread might have special clinical significance, we evaluated predictors and outcomes of S. aureus bacteriuria among patients with S. aureus bacteremia. METHODS A case-control study was performed at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County among adult inpatients ...
متن کاملQuantifying the relationship between Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and S. aureus bacteriuria: a retrospective analysis in a tertiary care hospital.
In this retrospective cohort study, patients who had Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia but who lacked signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection due to S. aureus and who did not have an indwelling urinary catheter had a likelihood of S. aureus bacteriuria of 2.5% (2 of 79 patients). Therefore, we strongly question the theory that S. aureus bacteremia causes S. aureus bacteriuria.
متن کاملIsolation of Staphylococcus aureus from the urinary tract: association of isolation with symptomatic urinary tract infection and subsequent staphylococcal bacteremia.
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is frequently isolated from urine samples obtained from long-term care patients. The significance of staphylococcal bacteriuria is uncertain. We hypothesized that S. aureus is a urinary pathogen and that colonized urine could be a source of future staphylococcal infection. METHODS We performed a cohort study of 102 patients at a long-term care Veterans Affairs...
متن کاملBoth host and pathogen factors predispose to Escherichia coli urinary-source bacteremia in hospitalized patients.
BACKGROUND The urinary tract is the most common source for Escherichia coli bacteremia. Mortality from E. coli urinary-source bacteremia is higher than that from urinary tract infection. Predisposing factors for urinary-source E. coli bacteremia are poorly characterized. METHODS In order to identify urinary-source bacteremia risk factors, we conducted a 12-month prospective cohort study of ad...
