Antibiotics are the best known products of actinomycete. Over 5,000 antibiotics have been identified from the cultures of Gram positive and Gram-negative organisms, and filamentous fungi, but only about 100 antibiotics have commercially been used to treat human, animal and plant diseases. The genus, Streptomycete, is responsible for the formation of more than 60% of known antibiotics. Bacteri...

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common hospital-acquired infections, with 70%-80% resulting from catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). We undertook a qualitative study to assess patient perspectives of indwelling urinary catheters using a semistructured interview. We found that patient awareness and patient engagement regarding indwelling urinary catheters and thei...

Infection of the urinary tract is the most common infectious complication of renal transplantation. The microbiology of post-transplant urinary tract infections is similar to what is seen in the general population, although transplant patients may develop infections due to unusual or opportunistic pathogens. The optimal management of urinary tract infections in renal transplant recipients is po...

background escherichia coli is one of the most causative pathogen of urinary tract infection. urinary tract infections (utis) are the second most common cause of morbidity and remain a serious health concern among the clinicians. the severity of uti caused by uropathogenic e. coli (upec) is due to the expression of a wide spectrum of virulent factors such as adhesin coding operons. little is kn...

urinary tract infections (utis) are significant health problem, with escherichia coli as the primary pathogen in proximally 80% of cases. the adhesion of e coli to the host cell can be influenced by cell surface hydrophobicity (csh) and is an important factor for the development of infections. this study was conducted to find the relation between csh and one of the adhesions (mannose resistant ...

conclusions these results indicate that the pcr method is a powerful genotypic assay for the detection of adhesin-encoding operons. thus, this assay can be recommended for clinical use to detect virulent urinary e. coli strains, as well as epidemiological studies. materials and methods a total of 100 upec isolates were obtained from urine samples of patients with uti. the prevalence of 5 virule...

Urinary tract infections are often associated with urinary anomalies. An appropriate pharmacologic treatment may prevent, or may at least limit, any kidney damage due to pyelonephritis. The antibiotic prophylaxis plays a role as significant as early surgical therapy, taking into consideration also the present limitative trend for a softer therapeutic regimen. In the past few years a greater bac...

Background: Urinary tract infections are among the most common diseases in different communities and occur in all age groups. Failure to diagnose the disease correctly and promptly can cause complications such as damage to the urinary tract and kidney parenchyma, increased blood pressure, uremia. Also, in pregnant female patients It may lead to premature birth and even abortion. Therefore, corr...
