Separation of Fastidious Bacteria in Aging Women Urine Samples
author
Abstract:
Objectives: Urinary tract infections are today counted aging as one of the infectious and hospital related disease with high especially in aging women. As we know the infection would be identified in urine sample based on KASS scale while in spite of valuable usage of this method the culture results of a significant number of patients appear to be negative while there may be symptoms of infection. On the other hand organisms which are not identified using the above separation method are called "Fastidious". So the objective in this research work is to find an effective way fro identification and treatment using separation of fastidious bacteria technique in those urine samples showing a negative culture result with common (abovementioned) methods while the patient may have some infection symptoms. Methods & Materials: In this research the job was to identify and separate fastidious bacteria in 1075 samples of aging women urine, with changes in culture media incubation conditions and level of gases able to separation of fastidious Bacterium. As well number of leucocytes in the initial sample and existence of pus in urine sample were determined. Meantime study of medical records for determination of symptoms and antibiotics administration was considered and all results were compared with each other and finally evaluated based on the control group. Results: After aerobic and nocturnal culture of 1075 urine samples, 338 cases were positive, 99 cases had basic count, 159 cases were mixed and 434 cases were negative. Out of negative cases in the said method, using fastidious bacteria separation technique, cases had fastidious bacteria more than 50% of which had some symptoms of infection showing a significant difference. Conclusion: For separation and identification of urine infection factors in aging women patients with negative nocturnal aerobic culture, especially when it was coincided with presence of symptoms. Additional sample in selective and extra environment along with changes in incubation conditions would be necessary for bacteria separation.

SCREENING FOR ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIA IN URINE SAMPLES
Chronic urinary tract infections are often caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. In some of these cases, prediction of the most effective antibiotic (s) may urgently be needed. This can not be achieved unless the nature and patterns of the resistance to antibiotics among the pathogenic bacteria has been described earlier. The urine samples that reached the laboratory of Shaheed Mustafa K...

The intent of this article is to describe the optimal methods for culture recovery of 7 fastidious bacteria: Legionella species, Brucella species, Francisella tularensis, Leptospira species, Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella species, and Bordetella species. These organisms share much in common beyond the fact that their genus names all end in the letter "a." Culture recovery of these organisms, ...

The etiologic diagnosis of infective endocarditis is easily made in the presence of continuous bacteremia with gram-positive cocci. However, the blood culture may contain a bacterium rarely associated with endocarditis, such as Lactobacillus spp., Klebsiella spp., or nontoxigenic Corynebacterium, Salmonella, Gemella, Campylobacter, Aeromonas, Yersinia, Nocardia, Pasteurella, Listeria, or Erysip...

BACKGROUND Fastidious bacteria have been associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) using PCR methods. We assessed the prevalence of these bacteria in HIV-1 infected women and their relationship with vaginal pH and shedding of HIV-1 RNA. METHODS 64 cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) samples were collected from 51 women. Vaginal microbiota were characterized using 8 bacterium-specific quantitative PCR ...
