Filter by:Overtreatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) is a quality, safety, and cost issue, particularly as unnecessary antibiotics lead to emergence of resistant pathogens. The investigators' proposal to bring clinical practice in line with published guidelines has significant potential to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use for ABU in the VA healthcare system, thus improving the quality and safety of veterans' healthcare. The investigators' study will also provide important insights about how to implement and sustain evidence-based clinical practice within VA hospitals.
This study will investigate whether there is a particular dose of cranberry capsules that is effective in preventing the occurrence of urinary tract infections in females at least 65 years of age or older who live in a nursing home and who have a history of urinary tract infections. The Yale research team will be enrolling 80 subjects in total over several nursing home locations within Connecticut.
This study tests the following hypothesis: Does induced asymptomatic bacteriuria (E. coli 83972) protect against symptomatic urinary tract infections in individuals with bladder emptying dysfunctions and prone to recurrent infection episodes? The study is performed using a double-blind randomized study protocol with a cross-over, with re-inoculations being patient-blinded (phase 1). After patients have fulfilled the cross-over, those who have had bacteriuria or placebo-periods < 12 months will be subjected to additional patient blinded inoculations (phase 2). During the entire study (phase 1+2) the study-team and the patients are unaware of urine culture results.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the effects of NVC-422 instilled into the bladder in reducing bacteria in the urine.
Many children who catheterize their bladders because of spina bifida or other neurologic disorders have bacteriuria. This can lead to urinary tract infections by bacteria from the gut which colonize the vagina and are carried into the bladder during catheter passage. We seek to test whether oral administration of probiotic bacteria can "displace" these vagina-derived uropathogens and reduce or prevent bacteriuria in girls with spina bifida who empty their bladders through catheterization.
This study is to help determine if drinking cranberry juice can decrease risk for asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB). ASB occurs when there are bacteria in the urine without any symptoms. It will also see if there is a difference in this effect between pregnant and non-pregnant women.This research project is also designed to see what happens to bacterial binding to the lining of the bladder after drinking cranberry juice when special problems occur with pregnancy such as diabetes (a sugar metabolism problem) or ASB is already occurring.
The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of oral levofloxacin (an antibiotic) with that of oral lomefloxacin in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections in adults.
The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of oral levofloxacin (an antibiotic) with that of oral ciprofloxacin in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections in adults.
Urinary-tract infection (UTI) is the most common type of hospital-acquired infection (30% of all). The purpose of this study is to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis for urinary catheter removal is useful at preventing catheter-associated urinary-tract infection.
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of cranberry juice that is most effective in preventing a condition in pregnant women that often leads to urinary tract infections (UTIs).
