Estrogen and the innate epithelial defences of the urogenital tract
TL;DR: The results reveal that ostrogen treatment during infection may increase expression of the antimicrobial peptide hBD3 and suggest that oestrogen treatment of infected cells may increase hBD2 expression.

The systematic review of quinolones resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infections in Iran over the last ten years (2001-2011).
Alisha Akya,Farid Najafi,Nasrollah Sohrabi,Siavash Vaziri,Faizolah Mansouri,Mohsen Azizi,Farideh Akbarzadeh +6 more
TL;DR: The resistance to quinolones including ciprofloxacin, norfl oxacin and nalidixic acid is quite high and given the increased resistance to these drugs, urine culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing are essential for the treatment of UTIs.

Isolation and Characterization of Escherichia coli Sequence Type 131 and Other Antimicrobial-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli from Clinical Stool Samples from Veterans
Muhanad Mohamed,Connie Clabots,Stephen B. Porter,Paul Thuras,James R. Johnson,James R. Johnson +5 more
TL;DR: A substantial minority of veterans with diarrhea who undergo stool testing excrete antibiotic-resistant GNB, including E. coli ST131, which may pose transmission risks for more than just diarrheal pathogens and may help disseminate clinically relevant ST131 strains and other MDR GNB within hospitals and the community.

Diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection
Thomas M. Hooton,Walter E. Stamm +1 more
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.
