B5-080 Renal Infections Flashcards
- gradual onset of internal dysuria
- sexually active patient with new partner
- no hematuria
clamydia
UTI in men, pregnant women, and children is usually considered
complicated
causes 80% of UTIs
E. coli (UPEC)
2nd most common UTI in sexually active young women
Staph. sapro
causes renal and urinary stones
proteus mirabilis
UTI pathogen associated with catheterized patients
klebsiella pneumoniae
UTI pathogens associated with immunocompromised patients
2
enterobacter
enterococcus faecalis
cause renal stones, chronic prostatitis, and more common in catherized patients
pseudomonas aeruginosa
gram negative bacilli, lactose fermentors
3
E coli
Klebsiella
Enterobacter
gram negative bacilli, lactose negative, glucose fermentor
1 that we talked about
proteus
gram negative bacilli, does not ferment glucose
1 that we talked about
pseudomonas
gram positive cocci
clusters
catalase +
staphylococcus
common culture contaminants
- lactobacilli
- a-hemolytic strep
nitrate production on dipstick indicates
gram negative bacteria
greater than 10 WBC/hpf
pyuria
greater than 100,000/hpf is diagnostic of
bacterial infection
treatment for uncomplicated UTI
nitrofuratoin or Bactrim
treatment of complicated UTI
- 1-2 weeks of oral antibiotic and possibly..
- IV initial dose of ceftriaxone, aminoglycoside or fluroquinolone
epididymitits, acute/chronic prostitis should be treated for […] weeks
3-12
why is designing a vaccine for UTI based on pilli very difficult?
pili undergo phase variation in response to environment
FimH binds to
uroplakins (glycoproteins)
adhesin and invasin
exfoliation of infected cells is largely triggered by
LPS
innate immune response
- critical for clearance of bacteria
- presence in urine is a hallmark of UTI
neutrophils
what populations should be treated for asymptomatic bacteriuria?
- pregnant women
- before GU procedure
- renal transplant patients for first 6 months
prevention of EPEC UTI
- hydration
- voiding after SI
