This report describes two episodes of acute cystitis associated with "mixed flora" in an elderly male following a cystoscopy. The initial episode was accompanied by pyuria and a positive nitrite test. Both episodes responded to treatment with nitrofurantoin. Urine cultures were negative prior to the episodes and at a 1-year follow-up.

Lactobacilli are part of the normal bacterial flora of the vagina and are typically considered contaminants when cultured from urine specimens of female patients. Here we describe the case of a female patient with chronic pyuria and urinary tract symptoms in which Lactobacillus delbrueckii was determined to be the causative microorganism.

urine specimens from 6656 children clinically suspected of urinary tract infection were evaluated bacteriologically. bacterial colony count of over (103) colony forning units cfu/ ml were found in 480 (7.2%) of total cases, with 342 (71.25%) girls and 138 (28.75%) boys. bacterial etiology of positive culture were determind. escherichia coli was the most frequent etiologic agent (75.62%) followe...

Background: Neonates with urinary tract infection (UTI) are susceptible to higher rates of morbidity and mortality, specifically when presented hyperbilirubinemia. Screening for UTIs in jaundiced neonates is a cost-effective strategy. The aims this study were investigate the pattern UTI (prevalence, etiology, antimicrobial agents) admitted NICU unexplained indirect hyperbilirubinemia, as well i...

PURPOSE We used the PathoScope platform to perform species level analyses of publicly available, 16S rRNA pyrosequenced, asymptomatic urine data to determine relationships between microbiomes, and clinical and functional phenotypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reanalyzed previously reported, cross-sectionally acquired urine samples from 47 asymptomatic subjects, including 23 controls and 24 subj...

Bifidobacterium species are difficult to identify and may be underreported or not recovered by many laboratories because of their slow growth. We emphasize the importance of the Gram stain in urine samples and the addition of enriched media and enhanced atmosphere over time for urine cultures with pyuria. This is the first report of a Bifidobacterium scardovii recurrent urinary infection in an ...
