Article Synopsis
- E. faecalis is the second most common bacterial cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in male outpatients, detected in 16% of cases, with younger men being at higher risk (17%).
- The incidence of recurrent UTIs is significantly higher when E. faecalis is present, increasing with age, reaching 28% in men over 70.
- The study highlights the need for better diagnostic practices, as nitrate sticks are not effective for ruling out UTIs in men, and suggests the cautious use of ciprofloxacin in young adults due to rising resistance rates.
BackgroundEvidence on the distribution of bacteria and therapy recommendations in male outpatients with urinary tract infections (UTI) remains insufficient.AimWe aimed to report frequency distributions and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of bacteria causing UTI in men and to identify risk factors for resistance of against trimethoprim (TMP) and ciprofloxacin (CIP).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study using routinely collected midstream urine specimens from 102,736 adult male outpatients sent from 6,749 outpatient practices to nine collaborating laboratories from all major regions in Germany between 2015 and 2020.

The budding yeast serves as reference cell to study the interplay between αSyn misfolding, cytotoxicity and post-translational modifications (PTMs). The synuclein family includes α, β and γ isoforms.

It is associated with increased risk for urogenital infections and abortion. In this study we assessed the effect of a yoghurt drink containing Lactobacillus strains on BV.
