Disease relevance of Bacteriuria

 

High impact information on Bacteriuria

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Bacteriuria

  • Self-screening for significant bacteriuria. Evaluation of dip-strip combination nitrite/culture test [10].
  • After the introduction of bladder irrigation with povidone-iodine in the orthopaedic department of Leiden University Hospital the incidence of hospital-acquired bacteriuria fell from 6.9% to 3.7% [11].
  • Among diabetic subjects, prevalence of bacteriuria increased with longer disease duration but was not affected by measures of glucose control [12].
  • In the norfloxacin group bacteriuria was eliminated in 8 cases, unchanged in 1, decreased in 1 and replaced in 5 [13].
  • Of the 11 patients treated with amoxicillin, 1 had positive urine cultures during treatment, and 1 treated with ampicillin continued to be symptomatic.. Recurrence of bacteriuria occurred in three of seven patients with persistent bladder calcification [14].
 

Biological context of Bacteriuria

 

Anatomical context of Bacteriuria

  • Diabetic (n = 206) and normal (n = 418) subjects were identified from a defined geographic area in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado. Presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was determined by testing the subjects' urine with a reagent-strip test for nitrite and leukocyte esterase (Chemstrip LN) [12].
  • We conducted 202 trials in 161 male hospital patients to determine if prophylactic administration of ascorbic acid or antibacterials (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, nalidixic acid, methenamine hippurate or nitrofurantoin macrocrystals) would prevent bacteriuria infections in spinal cord injury patients who had had at least 1 bout of bacteriuria [20].
  • The best predictors for significant bacteriuria (defined as a culture with more than 50,000 colony-forming units) were > or = 2+ bacteriuria (sensitivity, 0.74; specificity, 0.80), or > or = 10 white blood cells per high-power field (sensitivity, 0.816; specificity, 0.651), or a positive nitrite test (sensitivity, 0.395; specificity, 0.929) [21].
  • Asymptomatic bacteriuria in elderly humans is associated with increased levels of circulating TNF receptors and elevated numbers of neutrophils [22].
  • Pre-existing bacteriuria of 2 to 3 weeks' duration in the rabbit had no effect on either the histological integrity of the sialomucin layer (anti-adherence factor) of the bladder mucosa or the protective effect of this layer against super-infection [23].
 

Gene context of Bacteriuria

  • Urine proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 (P = 0.001) and IL-8 (P = 0.007) were significantly higher in male patients with bacteriuria than in males without bacteriuria and sIL-2R (P = 0.001) and sIL-6R (P = 0.03) were significantly higher in males with leukocyturia than in males without leukocyturia [24].
  • Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in children with febrile urinary tract infection and asymptomatic bacteriuria [25].
  • In SSI patients, 22.7% of group I and 35.7% in group II, had MRSA bacteriuria before operation [26].
  • Letter: Urine microscopy in detection of bacteriuria [27].
  • The course of significant asymptomatic and symptomatic bacteriuria in women with PBC was evaluated: consecutive patients were screened for bacteriuria at their outpatient appointments [28].
