Abstract:
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a huge public health problem affecting 150 million people each year worldwide. Expenditures aimed at the management of UTI account for approximately $3.5 billion USD in medical costs annually. More than 80% of all UTIs are caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Studies have shown key roles for virulence factors of UPEC, such as flagella, autotransporters, capsule, fimbriae, toxins, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and siderophores, in UTI disease pathogenesis. UPEC flagella contribute to the pathogenesis of UTI in several ways, such as through flagella-me

Male UTI comprised only 13% of the episodes, increased after middle age and contributed 4 0% by > 80 years of age. At 17 PHC centres (PHCCs) a prevalence study (McPHC) of mainly uncomplicated UTI was performed. Most episodes were acutely symptomatic (lower 75%, upper 5%).

Abstract:
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a major source of morbidity, affecting 50% of women at least once, and sometimes with recurrent episodes. These infections can be localised as cystitis or urethritis, and sometimes develop more severely as pyelonephritis or urosepsis. UTI also affects the elderly and catheterised patients in large numbers. The burden on the health care system arises from more than 8 million UTI-related consultations per year; with health care costs estimated in excess of $3.5 billion, in the USA alone.

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common bacterial infection. Diagnosing UTI can be done through urine culturing. While precise, culturing is both time and money consuming.

Though, the problem with FCA is that it cannot reliably diagnose patients. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how different screening methods perform when applied before culturing.

Abstract:
The efficacy of short term (3 day) oral amoxicillin therapy was compared to conventional (14 day) oral therapy in an experimental model of bacterial lower urinary tract infection (UTI) in the cat. Chemical cystitis was induced using an infusion solution of salicylic acid, 70% ethanol, and normal saline via transabdominal cystocentesis. Cats were challenged with a Staphylococcus intermedius inoculum twenty-four hours later introduced via urethral catheterization. Serial quantitative aerobic bacterial urine cultures obtained via cystocentesis were used to evaluate groups of cats. Eighteen adul

Abstract:
Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) strains are the main etiologic agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs). ExPEC strains are also reported to be the most common cause of bacteraemia in the world, which often originate from UTI. The population structure of UTI E. coli strains is well described in the literature with increased prevalence of multidrug resistance driven by extended spectrum β lactamases (ESBLs). ESBL carriage and multidrug resistance of bacteraemia E. coli is on the increase yet little information is available about their population structure. With the aim to define the b

Abstract:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Joint Commission, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality recognized the importance of reducing health-care-associated infections (HAIs) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) for the safety of all patients. The U.S Department of Health and Human Services has focused on approving a plan to address HAIs in the health care setting with an emphasis on CAUTIs. The purpose of this project was to decrease CAUTI rates on a long-term care and rehab unit by educating staff about using the CAUTI bundle and CAUTI maintenanc
