background diabetes is one of the most serious metabolic disorders to affect different organs in the body. patients with diabetes are hence at risk of developing other problems. urinary tract infections (uti) are one of the problems that occur more commonly in diabetic patients than in others. there are several risk factors that lead to the incidence of uti in diabetic patients. conclusions we ...

background:  one of the most common infections in human is urinary tract infection  (uti)  and  uropathogenic   escherichia  coli   is  one  of  its  major causative agents . uti is extremely common among young women. children under age 5 are also highly at risk. considering the prevalence of this disease, it is necessary  to design  an appropriate  diagnostic  method  for its effective diagnos...

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-enolpyruvy...

conclusions in conclusion, we developed a method to express the papg.acma protein on the surface of lactobacillus. this is the first report on the successful application of lactic acid bacteria displaying the papg.acma fusion protein. it will be interesting to determine the immune responses against the papg protein in near future using this surface display strategy. results the papg.acma fusion...

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...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are commonly reported by people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and significantly impact quality of life. OBJECTIVE To provide an overview of the problem of UTIs in PwMS and offer a practical approach for the diagnosis and management. METHODS A review of the literature through a Pubmed search up to October 2015 was performed using the following keyw...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common type of nosocomial infection found in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) (Warren, Palumbo, Fitterman, & Speedie, 1991). Yet, there is much to be understood about UTIs in the elderly (generally considered to be those over 64 years old). Just as children are medically not small adults, the elderly are not necessarily older adults. They are unique...

conclusions our findings implied that a wide range of bacteria could be involved in creating urinary tract infection in patients referred to a medical laboratory of kashani and hajar hospital in shahrekord, iran. regardless of age, sex and the use of catheter, a wide range of bacteria could be involved in urinary tract infections. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study 147 urine sam...

BACKGROUND In geriatrics, delirium is widely viewed as a consequence of and, therefore, a reason to initiate workup for urinary tract infection (UTI). There is a possibility that this association is overestimated. To determine the evidence behind this clinical practice, we undertook a systematic review of the literature linking delirium with UTI. METHODS A MEDLINE search was conducted from 19...

Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for substantial morbidity, losses in work time, and medical costs. Recent studies suggest that the major factors predisposing to recurrent UTIs differ by age and functional status. In premenopausal women, sexual intercourse, spermicide exposure, maternal history of UTI, and a history of UTI in childhood have been associated with recurrent infect...
