[Species composition and molecular-genetic characteristics of antibiotic-resistant strains of gram negative bacteria isolated from patients of a hospitals urology department].

Aim: To analyze the composition and molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of Gram-negative bacteria - pathogens of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult patients living in the city of Almaty.

Materials And Methods: The study examined the etiological composition and antibiotic susceptibility of clinically significant isolates of bacteria and fungi ( more or equal 103) isolated from the urine of the patients of the Department of Urology of the Almaty city Central Clinical Hospital No. 12.

[Effectiveness of Omnic and Omnic Ocas in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (multi-center observing program)].

Aim: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of six-month treatment course of Omnic and Omnic Ocas in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in a routine urology practice in Kazakhstan.

Design: This was a multicenter prospective observational program involving the collection of data from patients with LUTS caused by BPH, who received Omnic Ocas or Omnic as the first line treatment.

Materials And Methods: The program comprised 1513 patients with a verified diagnosis of LUTS/BPH, who received Omnic Ocas or Omnic (tamsulosin) administered by urologists at hospitals in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

[Photoselective laser vaporization of complicated prostatic adenoma].

The aim of the study was to determine indications for use of photoselective laser vaporization of the prostate (PVP) in clinical practice and to evaluate long-term results of this method. Since September 2005 to February 2007 a total of 106 patients aged 55-95 years with prostatic adenoma were operated. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1--patients with PA stage II (n = 45 patients), group 2--with stage III (n = 56 patients).

[Antilysozyme activity of microorganisms causing acute and chronic pyelonephritis].

Etiological structure of urine microflora was studied in patients with acute and chronic pyelonephritis. Gram-negative microorganisms dominated. Antilysozyme activity of 175 bacterial strains was studied.

[The determination of Krebs cycle carboxylic acids in the ejaculate by chromatography].

The authors suggest a highly informative and unsophisticated method of gas liquid chromatography of lactic, pyruvic, oxalic, butyric, malonic, succinic, glutaric, fumaric, oxalacetic, malic, alpha-ketoglutaric, cis-aconitic, tartaric, citric and isocitric acids in the ejaculate of infertile and fertile men and in testicles of experimental animals. The method is recommended for research and clinical studies of the metabolic processes associated with the functioning of the Krebs' cycle acids in the seminal fluid of infertile patients.
