Prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile and predictors of asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women in Adigrat General Hospital, Northern Ethiopia

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Approach to asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women in Ethiopia is mainly based on clinical grounds and urine strip and microscopy tests. On top of this, the treatment is also on an empirical basis which may leads to an increased antimicrobial ...

Preoperative Pyuria as a Predictor of False‐Positive Rates in the Photodynamic Diagnosis of Nonmuscle‐Invasive Bladder Cancer Using Oral 5‐Aminolevulinic Acid

International Journal of Urology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Although photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) using 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a highly a sensitive and excellent method for detecting nonmuscle‐invasive bladder cancer, false‐positive rates should not be overlooked. One of the factors causing false‐positive results is inflammation.

Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) Are Not Increased in Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Healthy Older Adult Patients

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objective Antimicrobial peptides have demonstrated promise as biomarkers for urinary tract infection (UTI) in older adults (age ≥ 65 years). However, it is unknown if urinary AMP levels also increase in asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Pyuria Is Associated with Dysbiosis of the Urinary Microbiota in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Receiving Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors

Microbiology Research, 2022
Treating type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may be associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), such as diabetes-induced asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Prophylactic Vancomycin in the Primary Prevention of Clostridium difficile in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Prophylactic oral vancomycin was associated with reduced Clostridium difficile infection in allogeneic stem cell transplant patients. No differences in hospital‐acquired infections, mortality, GVHD, or rehospitalization were observed. It is a low‐cost, effective preventative strategy, though further prospective studies are needed to confirm safety and ...
