The bacterial and sensitivity pattern towards antimicrobials on urinary tract infections (UTI) patients are very important to beknown by clinicians to get a successful treatment. The bacterial and sensitivity pattern towards antimicrobials will be changed in differentplace and time, so that those should be analyzed routinely. To evaluate the bacterial and antimicrobials resistance pattern on urinarytract infections patients. A retrospective study on 220 urinary samples in January until December 2004 at Clinical Microbiology subunit of Dr.Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital . Of 99 samples of UTI, Prevalence of UTI in woman (54.5%) were higher than man (45.5%).Most of sample (28 samples) were found in 0 to 15 years group. The most bacteries in urine were Escherichia coli (39.4%) and Klebsiella(26.3%). Amikacin was sensitive to all bacteries, while amoxicilin and ampicilin were resistance. Prevalence of UTI in women werehigher than in men. Incidens of UTI was highest in children group. The most bacteries in urine samples were Escherichia coli. Amikacinwas sensitive to all bacteries, while Amoxicilin and Ampicilin were resistance.

An epizootiology of infectious diseases/conditions of dog in some veterinary clinics from Benue, Plateau states and the Federal Capital Territory in Nigeria were assessed from 2015 to 2018. This study revealed about seventeen (17) infectious clinical cases/conditions from 1865 cases recorded within the period of four (4) years. These comprised of helminthoses (17.8%) having the highest prevalence followed by babesiosis (17.5%), parvovirosis (15.9%), ectoparasitism (11.3%), scepticemia (6.9%), Mange (5.7%), urinary tract infections (4.7%), canine distemper (4.2%), colitis (3.9%), myiasis (2.7%), trypanosomosis (2.1%), leptospirosis and transmissible venereal tumor (1.9%), respiratory infections (1.7%), otitis (1.0%) and orchitis (0.7%). Puppies (0–6 months old) 50.2% were mostly affected. Incidences of diseases were more in Alsatians (23.7%), Cross (22.9%), Nigerian indigenous breed (20.5%), Caucasian (9.6%) and Rottweiler (8.9%). More cases of vaccinated (68.7%) were recorded against the unvaccinated (31.3%) dogs while male (57.1%) dogs had a higher frequency of cases as compared with their female (42.9%) counterpart. Disease incidence was highest in dry season (54.3%) especially in the months of December (13.3%), January (11.1%) and February (10.6%).The highest frequency of disease incidence was recorded in 2015 (36.4%). Most the infectious clinical cases/conditions recorded from this study were preventable cases demanding veterinary care in order to prevent the risk of zoonosis.

AbstractIntroduction: In pediatrics, the urinary tract infection is one of the most frequent bacterial infection, representing an important health problem due to its high incidence, wide etiology, asymptomatic evolution, and multiple and sever complications, relapses and sequelae.” Material and Method: We evaluated 45 children, aged between 6 months and 16 years, diagnosed and treated for urinary tract infection at the Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital, of Constanta County, in a period of 3 years and 6 months. Results: During studied period, between January 2014 and June 2017 from a total of 9343 patients admitted to the Constanta Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital, we selected 45 children (4.81‰) diagnosed with urinary tract infection. The average age of children with urinary tract infections was 5 years and 5 months. The gender distribution revealed a 2:1 balance in girl’s favor. The most affected group of age was 1-3 years. Fever was the dominating symptom. Urine cultures were positive for 37 cases, meanwhile for eight cases had been negative. The predominant germs are E. coli for female and for male Proteus. We noticed that for E. coli the highest sensitivity is preserved to Ertapenem -15 cases, followed by Ceftriaxone and Ciprofloxacin -10 cases each, and Gentamycin -9 cases. Conclusions: Pediatric urinary tract infection should be considered in every patient under 3 years with unexplained fever.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases in women, and are the most frequent cause of infectious complications of pregnancy. This paper reviews current scientific and methodical literature on UTIs in obstetrics and gynecology. Aspects of clinical importance of UTIs (epidemiology, clinical manifestations, complications), their etiology, antimicrobial resistance of UTIs agents were discussed, and current recommendations on diagnostics and treatment of UTIs were summarized. Special attention was paid to UTIs in pregnancy.

Generally, the most common triggers for Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) are infectious diseases, such as Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) or pneumonia. However, emphysematous infections are significant diseases rarely associated with DKA. Here, we present two cases of emphysematous urinary tract infection associated to diabetic ketoacidosis, highlighting the importance of a timely intervention and treatment. We review the need for appropriate laboratory and image testing in the context of infected patients who do not reach inflammatory/ glycemic goals to diagnosticate complicated infectious processes. This case report and mini-review also explore pathophysiology, the association of DKA and urinary emphysematous infections and treatment options.
