Antibiogram pattern of recurrent urinary tract infections in kidney transplant patients: a single-center cohort study.
Clin Transplant Res
March 2025
Transplant Research Center, Clinical Research Institute, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
Background: Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common complication among renal transplant recipients and can significantly affect patient outcomes. This study investigates the antibiogram patterns of uropathogens in this population to improve treatment strategies.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 58 renal transplant recipients diagnosed with recurrent UTIs.
Urine Leukocyte Counts for Differentiating Asymptomatic Bacteriuria From Urinary Tract Infection and Predicting Secondary Bacteremia.
J Korean Med Sci
March 2025
Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Differentiating between asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) and urinary tract infection (UTI) is difficult in patients who have difficulty communicating their symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of urine leukocytes in distinguishing between UTI and ASB, and the clinical outcomes of patients with UTI according to the degree of pyuria.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with positive urine cultures between July 2022 and June 2023 at two hospitals.
Risk factors for urinary tract infection and asymptomatic bacteriuria after stroke.
J Infect Dev Ctries

Department of Neurology, University Clinical Center Kragujevac, Kragujevac, Serbia.
Introduction: Urinary tract infections occur in approximately 19% of stroke patients. Urinary tract infections are proven to adversely affect the short-term and long-term outcomes of stroke, prolong hospitalization, and increase treatment costs. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for the occurrence of urinary tract infection and asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Infection
March 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, West German Centre of Infectious Diseases, University Hospital Essen, University Duisburg-Essen, Hufelandstrasse 55, 45147, Essen, Germany.
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.

J Am Geriatr Soc
March 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Background/objective: Antimicrobial peptides have demonstrated promise as biomarkers for urinary tract infection (UTI) in older adults (age ≥ 65 years). However, it is unknown if urinary AMP levels also increase in asymptomatic bacteriuria. Our objective was to determine if AMP levels vary between older adult patients with and without asymptomatic bacteriuria.
