ABSTRACT Background and Aims Urinary tract infections are among the most common infections globally, with increasing rates of antibiotic resistance complicating their management. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, bacteriological profile, and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of uropathogens isolated from urine samples at Methodist Hospital,

Antibiotics for asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy.
BACKGROUND Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a bacterial infection of the urine without any of the typical symptoms that are associated with a urinary infection, and occurs in 2% to 15% of pregnancies. If left untreated, up to 30% of mothers will develop acute

Phage and Endolysin Therapy Against Antibiotics Resistant Bacteria: From Bench to Bedside
Synergistic effects of combining bacteriophages and antibiotics in antimicrobial therapy. The diagram illustrates key advantages of phage‐antibiotic synergy, including increased treatment effectiveness, reduced minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for drug‐resistant strains, enhanced biofilm eradication, and inhibition of resistant bacteria ...

What is chronic urinary tract infection? A systematic review
Objective To define ‘chronic’ urinary tract infection (UTI) by reviewing current published research that employs this term. Methods We systematically searched Medline and Embase for studies covering all aspects of human UTI. For comparison, current urological and infectious disease guidelines were also reviewed.

Early severe inflammatory responses to uropathogenic E. coli predispose to chronic and recurrent urinary tract infection [PDF]
Chronic infections are an increasing problem due to the aging population and the increase in antibiotic resistant organisms. Therefore, understanding the host-pathogen interactions that result in chronic infection is of great importance.
