Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract through the urethra. Common symptoms include a frequent and painful urge to urinate, pain during urination, and urine that may be bloody. Diagnosis involves testing a urine sample for bacteria and white blood cells. Treatment usually involves a course of antibiotics over 7-10 days. Good hygiene, drinking fluids, urinating when needed, and cranberry supplements can help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system that is your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra.
This document provides an overview of urinary tract infections (UTIs). It discusses that UTIs are very common, especially in women, and are usually caused by E. coli entering the urinary tract. Symptoms depend on the location of the infection, ranging from cystitis for bladder infections to fever and flank pain for pyelonephritis. Diagnosis involves urinalysis and culture. Uncomplicated infections are usually treated with nitrofurantoin or TMP/SMX. Recurrent UTIs may require long-term antibiotic prophylaxis.
Bacterial infections of the urinary tract Meher Rizvi
Escherichia coli is the most common cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). UTIs can present as cystitis, pyelonephritis, or urosepsis. Laboratory diagnosis of UTIs involves collecting a urine sample and testing for significant bacteriuria, typically over 104 colony forming units per mL. Urine culture and sensitivity testing can identify the causative organism and determine appropriate antibiotic treatment.
The document discusses urinary tract infections (UTIs). It notes that UTIs can affect people of all ages but are more common in females, especially younger girls. The main causes are E. coli and other bacterial infections that enter the urinary tract. Symptoms vary depending on whether the infection involves the bladder (cystitis) or kidneys (pyelonephritis). Risk factors, diagnosis through urinalysis and culture, treatment with antibiotics or conservatively, and potential long-term issues like renal scarring are covered.
1. Urinary tract infections are very common, affecting around 150 million people per year globally, with higher rates in women.
2. Risk factors include catheter use, which increases risk 10-fold, and hospital-acquired UTIs account for 40% of all hospital infections.
3. Symptoms depend on location, from cystitis in the bladder presenting with dysuria and urgency, to pyelonephritis in the kidneys causing fever and flank pain. Diagnosis involves urinalysis and culture.
This document provides information on urinary tract infections (UTIs), including their definition, anatomical structures involved, classification, etiology, pathogenesis, signs and symptoms, specimen collection and transport, laboratory diagnosis and interpretation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, treatment, and references. UTIs are caused by microbial invasion of the genitourinary tract and are extremely common. Proper collection and testing of urine specimens is required for accurate laboratory diagnosis and interpretation of results to determine treatment.

• Associated with inflammation of urinary tract.
Urinary tract infections are a common problem that affect both women and men. They range from uncomplicated cystitis to complicated infections involving the kidneys or structural abnormalities. Common causes include E. coli and symptoms include dysuria, frequency, and urgency. Treatment involves antibiotics like TMP-SMX or fluoroquinolones depending on severity and recurrence risk. Recurrent infections require long term prophylaxis in some cases.
A urinary tract infection (or UTI) is caused by a bacterial infection in the urinary tract. The urinary tract is the body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water. The urinary tract includes two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra.
Normally, bacteria that enter the urinary tract are quickly removed by the body before they cause symptoms. But sometimes bacteria overcome the body’s natural defenses and cause infection, thus leading to a UTI.
Urinary Tract Infections are the 2nd most popular type of infection in the body. Women are especially prone to UTIs for anatomical reasons. *One factor is that a woman’s urethra is shorter, allowing bacteria quicker access to the bladder. Also, a woman’s urethral opening is near sources of bacteria from the anus and vagina. For women, the lifetime risk of having a UTI is greater than 50 percent.
This document discusses urethritis and its causes. It begins by defining urethritis as inflammation of the urethra, which can cause discharge and dysuria. The main causes of urethritis discussed are infectious agents like Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Mycoplasma genitalium. Non-infectious causes like trauma are also mentioned. Gonococcal urethritis and chlamydial urethritis are then described in more detail, outlining their clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and complications.

An 40 year old woman presented with complaints of painful urination, urgency, lower back pain and burning urination. Urine culture showed 105 colony-forming units/ml of bacteria. She was treated with an antibiotic (Trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole) twice daily for 3 days and pain medication, which reduced her symptoms. Urinary tract infections are common and occur when bacteria or other microbes infect the urethra, bladder, ureters, or kidneys. Symptoms include painful urination and back pain. Diagnosis involves a urine test and culture. Treatment is usually a short course of antibiotics along with pain medication and hydration.
Microbiology (lab diagnosis of urinary tract infections)Osama Al-Zahrani
The document discusses diagnosing a urinary tract infection through urine sample collection and testing. There are three types of urine samples that can be collected: mid-stream urine, catheter urine, or subrapubic urine. Samples are cultured on agar plates and examined microscopically after centrifuging. The number and type of bacterial colonies are reported, and results are interpreted based on colony-forming units per ml and presence of pyuria to determine if an infection exists. A sample showing over 100,000 CFU/ml and pyuria over 10 per high power field indicates a significant bacterial growth and positive diagnosis of infection.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can affect different parts of the urinary tract including the urethra, bladder, and kidneys. UTIs are classified as uncomplicated if occurring in a generally healthy person without structural issues, or complicated if associated with underlying conditions. Escherichia coli is the most common cause of uncomplicated UTIs. Virulence factors like fimbriae and toxins help bacteria adhere and infect the urinary tract. Treatment involves antibiotics administered orally or intravenously depending on severity. Complications can include recurrent infections, kidney damage, low birth weight, and even sepsis.
This document provides an overview of gonorrhea, including that it is a common bacterial STI caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It affects the urogenital tract most commonly. Screening is recommended annually for sexually active individuals and more frequently for those at higher risk. Most women are asymptomatic while men typically experience dysuria and discharge. Treatment involves antibiotics and retesting partners and patients in several months to check for reinfection.
A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria infect the urinary system. It can involve the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. Common symptoms include an urgent need to urinate, burning during urination, and cloudy or bloody urine. Untreated UTIs can lead to kidney infections which may cause back pain, fever, nausea, or vomiting. Doctors diagnose UTIs through urine tests and may use imaging tests if infections reoccur. Antibiotics are prescribed to treat UTIs depending on severity, and lifestyle changes like drinking cranberry juice or water can help prevent future infections.
This document provides information about urinary tract infections (UTIs). It discusses the anatomy of the urinary tract and areas that can be infected.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

9. Lab Diagnosis
• Collection and transport of specimen
• Microscopy
• Screening
• Culture
• Antibiotic Sensitivity Test
10. Collection of Specimen
Collection
Midstream urine
Male
Female
Catheter sample
urine
During cystoscopy
Early morning
Urine
TB of urinary
tract
Suprapubic
Aspirate
Children, infant
and older women
Initial Flow
Urethritis,
Prostatitis
11. Transport of Specimen
• At room temp - half an hour
• Refrigerated at 4⁰- 4 hrs
• Not processed beyond this time
• No immediate access – Spl. container
with 1.8% boric acid
• Contamination-False +ve
12. Microscopy
• Urine centrifuged and deposit
examined under microscope
• The following can be seen:
• Pus cells ( > 5/hpf)
• Bacteria
• Epithelial cells
• RBC
13. Culture:
• Semi-quantitative cultures
• Standard loop technique
• Involves a ‘standard calibrated loop’ –
transfers fixed, small quantity of urine
• Culture Media:
• Mac Conkey Agar
• Blood Agar
• Mac Conkey- quantitative measurement
• Blood- presumptive diagnosis
14. • Colony count of 105/ml – Significant
• 104/ml – 105/ml – Doubtful significance
• < 104/ml – Significant only if:
• On prior antibiotics
• Obstruction in UT
• Fungal infection/pyelonephritis
• Specimen is suprapubic aspiration
• ≥ 3 types of organism - Contaminants
Fixed and small amount
of uncentrifuged urine
is transferred to
BLOOD and
MacCONKEY AGAR
Incubate at 37⁰ C for
24 hours
Next day, the number
of colonies grown is
counted and total count
per ml is calculated
15. Screening
• Necessity:
• UTI is a common problem
and facilities are not always
available
• Used for presumptive
diagnosis
Catalase
Test
Griess
Nitrite
Test
TTC
(Triphenyltet
razolium
chloride)
Gram Stain
Dip Slide
Culture
Glucose
Paper Test
16. 1. Griess Nitrite Test:
• Normal urine does not contain nitrite
• Is based on nitrate reducing enzyme produced by bacteria
during infection
2. Catalase Test
• Certain bacteria have catalase enzyme which acts on
hydrogen peroxide to release oxygen
• +ve rection evident by formation of
bubble
• Only in catalase +ve organism
17. 3. Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride:
• Is based on production of pink red precipitate in the reagent
• Caused by respiratory activity of growing bacteria
4. Gram stain:
• Microscopic demonstration of bacteria in gram stained
films of urine
18. 3. Glucose Paper Test:
• Is based on utilization of minute amount
of glucose in the normal urine utilized by
the bacteria causing infection
4. Dip Slide Culture:
• CLED agar on one side and MacConkey on another coated
slide → immersed in urine → incubated at 37⁰C → growth
estimated by colony counting or color change
19. Antibiotic Sensitivity:
• E. coli and other urinary pathogens –
multi drug resistance; transferable
variety
• Necessary to administer proper
antibiotics
• Primary susceptibility test with urine
specimen is done
• Confirmed by AST using bacteria
recovered in culture
