Drug resistance and Curli fimbrination of escherichia coli isolated from Bangladeshi patients with urinary tract infections

TL;DR: Among the antibiotics, imipenem and polymyxin B were found to be the best, while oxacillin, cefsulodine and methicillin proved to be worst in effectiveness against the studied E. coli isolates.

Understanding Escherichia coli Urinary Tract Infection: A Niche Perspective

TL;DR: This work has shown that an exuberant immune response during acute infection predisposes to chronic cystitis and regulation of type 1 pili is accompanied by regulatory changes.

Efficacy of Combination of Meropenem with Gentamicin, and Amikacin against Resistant E. coli Isolated from Patients with UTIs: in vitro Study

TL;DR: In vitro effects of various combinations of three types of antimicrobials against twenty five E. coli isolates show high synergistic effect when 1/4+1/4 MIC for each antimicrobial were used and combinations of amikacin with gentamicin in some isolates showed additive effect.

[Activity of cefpodoxime against pathogens causing respiratory, urinary or soft tissue infections].

TL;DR: Eleven percent of S pneumoniae isolates were resistant topenicillin, 11% were resistant to cefuroxime and 10% to Cefpodoxime, the most active antimicrobial against Spyogenes.

Phenotypic and genotypic evaluation of beta-lactamases (ESBL and KPC) among enterobacteria isolated from community-acquired monomicrobial urinary tract infections.

TL;DR: Evaluating ESBL and KPC among enterobacteria isolated from monomicrobial UTI and establishing correlations between the presence of genetic markers and the phenotypic resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is established to sustain empirical therapy of community-acquired urinary tract infections.

Diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection

TL;DR: The optimal treatment duration for acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis has not been established, but 10- to 14-day regimens are recommended, and patients prefer to use antimicrobials that attain high renal tissue levels, such as a fluoroquinolone, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or an aminoglycoside for pyel onephritis.

Increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens causing acute uncomplicated cystitis in women.

TL;DR: While the prevalence of resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin, and cephalothin increased significantly among uropathogens causing acute cystitis, resistance to nitrofurantoin and ciprofloxacin remained infrequent.
