, an environmental organism, is an emerging pathogen in patients chiefly with immune suppression. We report the draft genome of , strain UU2206353, isolated from the urinary tract of an immunocompetent individual. The assembled genome consisted of 4,669,536 bp distributed over 20 contigs with 4,283 protein-coding genes.

The 13 case reports in the literature worldwide highlight blood, bone and wound infections. To our knowledge this is the first case description of causing a urinary tract infection in a 69-year-old immunocompetent patient which was isolated in two separate specimens and identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 1 day versus 3 days of intravenous amikacin as prophylaxis, before TURP.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective randomized control trial, patients with sterile preoperative urine culture were randomized to receive either 1 day (Group A) or 3 days (Group B) of intravenous (IV) amikacin.
Introduction: Literature regarding the outcomes of renal transplant in patients with abnormal lower urinary tracts (LUTs) is conflicting. The study aimed to determine the graft outcomes and complications of renal transplantation in an optimized abnormal LUT as compared to those with a normal LUT.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center retrospective-matched cohort study, we identified 31 patients with an optimized abnormal LUT in our transplant database between 2006 and 2016 (Group A) and selected an equal number of matched controls (Group B).
