is primarily known to affect the gastrointestinal tract but can rarely cause infections at uncommon sites, such as the urinary tract. It is known that can infect the urinary tract directly by blood, fecal contamination of urethra, urolithiasis, or secondary intraluminal ascending infection. Our patient is a 59-year-old female with a past medical history of nephrolithiasis and multiple urinary tract infections (UTI) who presented with altered mental status and sepsis complicated by bacteremia and UTI. Urine and blood cultures revealed species > 100,000 colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) and non-typhoidal , respectively. During the course of her hospital admission, the patient was treated with multiple antibiotics. On further review, it was noted that the patient had presented to the emergency room (ER) about four months earlier with abdominal pain and watery diarrhea with a stool culture being positive for non-typhoidal . Gastroenteritis, sepsis, and enteric fever are normally known with (). Less common extraintestinal diseases like UTI are due to non-typhoidal . The most frequent pathogenesis of UTI is probably hematogenous. UTI caused by non-typhoidal is usually associated with structural abnormalities of the urinary tract. In our case, the patient had non-typhoidal  gastroenteritis followed by non-typhoidal  bacteremia and UTI.

Objective: There is limited knowledge about severe urinary tract infections associated with SGLT2i, despite this being the basis for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning. We aim to provide real-world evidence to clarify this relationship further.

Data Source: A literature review was performed in PubMed and Embase for cohort studies published up to August 2024 using PICO-consistent terms.

Pyomelanogenic P. aeruginosa, frequently isolated from patients with urinary tract infections and cystic fibrosis, possesses the ability to withstand oxidative stress, contributing to virulence and resulting in persistent infections. Whole genome sequence analysis of U804, a pyomelanogenic, multidrug-resistant, clinical isolate, demonstrates the mechanism underlying pyomelanin overproduction.

Kidney stones, a common urological disease, may involve the brain-kidney axis in their formation, though the specific mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of blue light on relevant metabolic indicators and oxidative stress status in rats with kidney stones through the brain-kidney axis. A rat model of kidney stones was established by administering 1% ethylene glycol and 2% ammonium chloride.

In vitro models that can faithfully replicate critical aspects of kidney tubule function such as directional drug transport are in high demand in pharmacology and toxicology. Accordingly, development and validation of new models is underway. The objective of this study was to characterize physiologic and transport functions of various sources of human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTECs).
