A Novel Device-Integrated Drug Delivery System for Local Inhibition of Urinary Tract Infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a frequent community-acquired infection and the most common nosocomial infection. Here, we developed a novel antimicrobial catheter concept that utilizes a silicone-based interpenetrating

Biotechnological charactheristic of catheterized urinary tract as flow system

Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2016
It is well known that the ureter of mammals and man works as a flow system that normally remains uninfected. In biotechnology flow systems are used to produce microbial mass on orders greater than when grown in laboratory and industrial periodic cultures.

A Low Psoas Muscle Index Was Associated With a Poorer Overall Survival in Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Nephrostomy

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
In patients with malignant ureteral obstruction undergoing percutaneous nephrostomy, sarcopenia defined by a low psoas muscle index was independently associated with poor overall survival on multivariate Cox regression analysis, suggesting that preoperative assessment of psoas muscle index may aid prognostic stratification in this population.

E. coli catheter-associated urinary tract infections are associated with distinctive virulence and biofilm gene determinants

JCI Insight, 2023
Urinary catheterization facilitates urinary tract colonization by E. coli and increases infection risk. Here, we aimed to identify strain-specific characteristics associated with the transition from colonization to infection in catheterized patients.
