introduction: women are very susceptible to urinary tract infections and pregnancy raises the risk of urinary tract infection. in general, little information on the risk factors of urinary tract infection in pregnancy is underway. urinary tract infection in pregnancy is an important risk factor for pregnancy dire consequences. the purpose of this study is to find risk factors associated with ur...

Background: Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infectious diseases in children, the most severe form of which is acute pyelonephritis. Vitamin D plays a very important role in regulating the immune system, this study was conducted to compare vitamin D levels in children with urinary tract infections and healthy children in Kerman, Iran in 2020. Methods: This cross-sectional stud...

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common infectious diseases that lead to significant health problems in the world. Urinary tract infections are referred to any infection in any part of the renal system. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Klebsiella are main organisms that are involved in these infections. After identifying same protective and conserved virulence ...

Background and Aims: Urinary tract infections are one of the most common human infections seen in all age groups and both sexes. Inappropriate use of antibiotics to treat urinary tract infection causes the resistance of the pathogens to the drug. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and antibiotic resistance patterns in patients with uri...

background : urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in women; due to the changes occur in the body during pregnancy, it is more likely to develop urinary tract infection and it has a great deal of importance because of its potential complications on mother and the fetus. this study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about urinary tract infections ...

background: pseudomonas aeruginosa is considered an opportunistic pathogen; several reports indicate that the organism can also cause infections in healthy hosts. four effector proteins have been described in p. aeruginosa: exou, exos, exot, and exoy. these genes that are translated into protein products related to type iii secretion systems. materials and methods: a total of 134 samples were i...

Positive correlations were found among the appearance of adenylate kinase activity in the urine and the existence of bacteriuria, the Fairley test, and other criteria of urinary infection. Since the adenylate kinase isozymes of human tissues are organ specific and can be distinguished from one another, the appearance of adenylate kinase isozymes in urine was used in this study to identify the e...

Background Infections in critical care unit are high, and they are serious hospital problems. Infections acquired during the hospital stay are generally called nosocomial infections, initially known as infections arising after 48 h of hospital admission. The mostfrequent nosocomial infections (urinary, respiratory, gastroenteritis and blood stream infection) were common in patients at hospit...

Objective(s) Staphylococcus aureus is both a successful human commensal and a major pathogen. In this study we investigated the genetic diversity of 26 S. aureus isolates recovered from human skin and urinary tract infections. Materials and Methods Typing procedure for the studied S. aureus isolates was performed based on PCR amplification of the aroA gene, which encodes the enzyme 5-enolpyr...

One of the most interesting features of the epidemiology of urinary tract infections is an increasing prevalence with advancing age.`' Infections are exceedingly uncommon in men below age 50 and the rates in elderly women are two to three times the rates in women below age 40. There are a number of possible explanations for this pattern. Urinary infections might confer a survival advantage on t...
