Filter by:Recurrent UTIs are common among patients on IC. These create significant patient morbidity and healthcare burden. In desperation, many physicians prescribe prophylactic oral or intravesical antibiotics. This practice is common among our Gillette clinic patients. However, the benefit is unclear and the risks are not insignificant. As such, practice variation is significant. In order to better define the evidence for or against gentamicin bladder irrigation and thus inform clinical practice both locally at our Gillette urology clinic and for practitioners at large we will pursue the following specific aims: 1. Compare rates of symptomatic urinary tract infection and asymptomatic bacteriuria among a population of Gillette patients on IC with and without gentamicin bladder instillation. 2. Compare antibiotic resistance rates among a population of Gillette patients on IC with and without gentamicin bladder instillation.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) could be used to treat Recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI).
Current standard of practice in study institution dictates day of surgery urinary catheter removal in general thoracic surgery patients receiving thoracic epidural analgesia. The investigators hypothesize that this practice results in low recatheterization rates secondary to urinary retention and low urinary tract infection rates.
The aim of this study is to determine the outcomes when using ertapenem for complicated urinary tract infections in the OPAt setting. The study hypothesis: Ertapenem is an efficacious and safe therapeutic option for complicated urinary tract infections in the OPAt setting.
To investigate if administration of probiotics, either orally or vaginally, - Can reduce the number of episodes of acute bacterial cystitis and/or - Has tolerable adverse effect profile - Improves general QoL in these women - Improves the immune function and other physiological stress markers - Reduces inflammation in urinary bladder epithelium
According to the Israeli Ministry of Health requirement, this study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the UroShield system is patients that require urinary catheterization. This was designed to compare standard treatment (urinary catheter alone) with the UroShield treatment in occurrence of catheter associated Urinary Tract infection, pain, discomfort, Biofilm prevention and trauma.
To assess the molecular epidemiology, clinical impact, treatment outcome and risk factors for infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae producing ESBLs in Italy in a large multicenter observational survey. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES 1. To collect consecutive nonreplicate isolates of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins from clinical specimens from inpatients and outpatients. 2. To characterize the isolates for resistance phenotypes and for β-lactam resistance mechanisms. 3. To investigate the clonality of isolates. 4. To analyse the epidemiology of various resistance mechanisms/resistant clones. 5. To collect clinical and epidemiological data for patients with infections caused by the ESBL producers. 6. To analyse the epidemiology, risk factors and outcome for infections caused by ESBL producers.
In the last years urinary tract infections (UTI) and pyelonephritis have been the most common reason for readmission to our hospital after birth. UTI is know to be one of the leading causes of postpartum fever affecting about 3%-8% of all postpartum women. The investigators hypothesize that collecting urine cultures pre- and postnatally may help identify women at risk for developing UTI, while treating women with positive cultures could decrease the rehospitalization rate due to postpartum fever. Collecting data during delivery may help identify women at risk for this complication.
