Urinary tract infections are common type of pathogenic infections in body. Essential oils of Coleus aromaticus and two varieties of Ocimum sanctum (Rama Tulasi and Shyama Tulasi) were compared for antibacterial activity against urinary tract infection (UTI) causing bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella oxytoca, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aerugin...

Objective: Human milk provides protection against infections. Protection against gastrointestinal and respiratory infections and otitis media is well documented. Protection against urinary tract infection is less recognised. The aim of this study was to assess the possible protective effect of breast feeding against urinary tract infection in children. Methods: In this prospective case-control ...

rinary tract infection (UTI) is defined as the symptomatic presence of microbial pathogens within the urinary tract, typically the lower urinary tract (bladder) unless otherwise specified. Symptoms generally include dysuria and increased frequency of urination. Flank pain and fever, on the other hand, suggest involvement of the upper urinary tract. An uncomplicated UTI shows no signs or symptom...

Of 176 urine isolates from female students positive for Escherichia coli, 29.6% were trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistant and none were nitrofurantoin resistant. Among students with a history of UTI (n=119), resistance to ciprofloxacin was 11.8% compared to 1.8% without prior UTI. Nitrofurantoin should be considered for empiric therapy of lower tract UTI.

conclusions multiple associations existed between atrophic urogenital changes and urinary incontinence. the most significant interaction was between urinary tract infections and urinary incontinence in menopausal women, with urinary tract infections increasing the risk of incontinence by 5.6 fold. we recommend health professionals to focus on early screening of these issues and implement educat...

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a common commensal of the gastrointestinal and vaginal mucosa and a leading cause of serious infections in newborns, the elderly, and immunocompromised populations. GBS also causes infections of the urinary tract. However, little is known about host responses to GBS urinary tract infection (UTI) or GBS virulence factors that participate in UTI. Here we describe a ...

Uncomplicated Urinary tract infections are common in adult women across the entire age spectrum, with mean annual incidence of 15% and 10% in those aged 15-39 and 40-79 years, respectively. Urinary tract infection (UTI), with its diverse clinical syndromes and affected host groups, remains one of the most common but widejly misunderstood and challenging infectious diseases encountered in clinic...

The normal urinary tract is resistant to colonisation by bacteria.' Presence of significant bacteriuria (> 105 bacteria/ml) is, however, not necessarily indicative of an infection of the urinary tract with serious consequences to the host. In fact, urinary tract infections (UTI) should be regarded as a group of infectious diseases of varying clinical severity and prognosis and therefore they de...
