background and purpose: the presence of candida yeasts in urine, known as candiduria, is an indicator of infection or colonization of the urinary tract by candida species. this condition in diabetic patients can be hazardous due to diminished immune system response. the objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of candiduria in diabetic patients and to identify its causative agen...

malnutrition is a common problem among nursing home residents and encompasses adverse outcomes. this study was conducted to determine malnutrition and urinary tract infections as well as antibiotic resistance of isolated bacteria at kahrisak nursing home in tehran city, capital of iran. nutritional status was determined by direct detection of kitchen, checking the menue of weekly foods, quality...

background urinary tract infections (uti) caused by resistant bacteria are becoming more prevalent. the spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl)-producing bacteria worldwide has become a serious public health issue among healthcare centers and in the community. drugs and many secondary metabolites from medicinal plants have proved to be economical and effective against many pathogens. ...

results in general 438 urine isolates were obtained. e. coli was the most frequently occurring pathogen (54.80%), followed by klebsiella pneumoniae (16.0%), coagulase negative staphylococci (11.2%), enterobacter spp. (9.6%), proteus spp. 1.4% and p. aeruginosa (1.4%). resistance rates of e. coli isolates were 85.9% to co-trimoxazole, 80.0% to penicillin, 77.0% to ampicillin, 68.0% to chloramphe...

reproductive abnormalities cause major losses of sheep production. abattoir materials were used todetermine the extent of reproductive wastage. reproductive tracts were collected from 524 ewes slaughtered at urmia slaughter-house in urmia, northwest of iran, during a period of 12 months. overall, 30.10% of the ewes examined were pregnant. a total of 149 (28.44%) tracts developed acquired reprod...

background and objective: this study was undertaken to assess the ability of standard urinalysis (ua) and hemocytometer white blood cell (wbc) counts for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (uti) in patients with urinary symptoms. materials and methods: a total of 600 patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection were enrolled in this prospective study. standard ua, hemocytometer wbc c...

conclusions timely detection and appropriate antibiotic therapy of afbn are essential to prevent renal abscess formation. a possible diagnosis of afbn needs to be considered in all patients being treated for febrile uti. detection and surgical correction of the underlying malformation are necessary to prevent further recurrences. case presentation here we describe a case of a 4-year-old boy adm...

background : the pathologies classified as urinary tract infections (uti) can have a deleterious effect on patients who have undergone a renal transplantation.  often recurrent utis will occur, leading to high morbidity, failure of the grafting process overall and even death.  the study presented here seeks to expand the knowledge of recurrent utis in the context of renal transplantation, what ...

background putative virulence factors are responsible for the pathogenicity of utis caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa (p. aeruginosa). resistance of p. aeruginosa to commonly used antibiotics is caused by the extreme overprescription of those antibiotics. objectives the goal of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of virulence factors and the antibiotic resistance patterns of p. a...

introduction urinary tract infection is a common disease in the general population. however, in patients with frequent urinary tract infection, it is important to determine any treatable cause to avoid recurrence. case presentation herlyn-werner-wunderlich syndrome or ohvira syndrome is a very rare congenital anomaly with uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. ...
