Recently, urinary tract infection (UTI) triggered by bacteria carrying pan-drug-resistant genes, including carbapenem resistance gene and , colistin resistance gene , and (X) for tigecycline resistance, have been reported, posing a serious challenge to the treatment of clinical UTI. Therefore, point-of-care (POC) detection of these genes in UTI samples without the need for pre-culturing is urgently needed. Based on PEG 200-enhanced recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and a refined Chelex-100 lysis method with HRP-catalyzed lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), we developed an MCL-PRPA-HLFIA cascade assay system for detecting these genes in UTI samples. The refined Chelex-100 lysis method extracts target DNA from UTI samples in 20 min without high-speed centrifugation or pre-incubation of urine samples. Following optimization, the cascade detection system achieved an LOD of 10 CFU/mL with satisfactory specificity and could detect these genes in both simulated and actual UTI samples. It takes less than an hour to complete the process without the use of high-speed centrifuges or other specialized equipment, such as PCR amplifiers. The MCL-PRPA-HLFIA cascade assay system provides new ideas for the construction of rapid detection methods for pan-drug-resistant genes in clinical UTI samples and provides the necessary medication guidance for UTI treatment.

Purpose: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common complications after kidney transplantation (KT), often resulting in severe outcomes like acute graft failure and sepsis. Factors such as diabetes, age, sex, and type of transplantation significantly influence disease progression. Rising antibiotic resistance complicates treatment, emphasizing the importance of Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS), particularly during the post-transplant immunosuppression phase.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are prevalent bacterial infections, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnosis for timely treatment. Conventional culture techniques, such as cystine lactose electrolyte deficient (CLED) agar, can delay treatment and contribute to inappropriate antibiotic use. Not much is known about alternatives such as chromogenic UTI agar.

Objectives: Urine cultures are often automatically obtained after urinary catheterization in young children, even in the absence of pyuria, to test for urinary tract infections (UTIs). Although this practice conflicts with some newer guidelines, it is frequently followed in busy emergency departments (EDs) to minimize the need for a repeat invasive procedure. To assess the implications of this longstanding practice, we aimed to describe the frequency and characteristics of children with normal urinalysis (UA) and positive urine culture obtained via catheterization, and to describe their clinical course.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) rank among the most prevalent bacterial infections globally. Traditional urine culture methods have significant limitations in detection time and sensitivity, prompting the need to evaluate targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) as a potential diagnostic tool.
Methods: The study included a discovery cohort of 400 suspected UTI patients (202 analyzed) and a validation cohort of 200 patients (110 analyzed).

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections encountered by clinicians in developing countries, affecting the urethra, bladder, and kidneys. It is a prevalent infectious disease among outpatients and hospitalized patients, leading to morbidity and mortality. Antibiotic resistance among uropathogens varies geographically, but empirical treatment is common in our study area.
