Assessment of potentially unnecessary antibiotic use for suspected urinary tract infections in nursing homes using a simplified algorithm.
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther
January 2025
Department of Social Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Crete, Heraklio, Crete, Greece.
Background: Nursing home (NH) residents are frequently treated with antibiotics for urinary tract infections (UTIs), often due to overdiagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the proportion of potentially unnecessary antibiotic use for suspected UTIs in NHs across eight European countries.
Research Design And Methods: Over a three-month period (February to April 2024), NH professionals recorded information on all antibiotic treatments for UTIs using a specific registration chart.

Article Synopsis
- Preterm labor occurs between 20 and 37 weeks of gestation and is linked to high rates of neonatal complications; urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a major risk factor for spontaneous preterm births, with studies suggesting that 40% of cases are associated with infections.
- A cross-sectional study of 144 antenatal women at Sri Ramachandra Medical College examined the relationship between spontaneous preterm labor and genitourinary tract infections by collecting urine and vaginal samples for testing, and assessing various maternal and neonatal factors.
- Results showed that 24% of participants tested positive for UTIs, mainly women aged 25-29 from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and UTI positivity correlated with higher white blood cell counts and CR
[Postcoital cystitis in menopause].

FGBOU VO Novosibirsk State Medical University of Ministry of Health of Russia, Novosibirsk, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- Postcoital cystitis, a condition causing painful urination linked to sexual activity, negatively impacts patients' emotional wellbeing and overall quality of life, with reduced interest in surgical interventions due to better antibacterial treatments and hygiene practices.
- A study involving 56 menopausal women examined the efficacy of Superlymph suppositories, assessing their impact on postcoital cystitis symptoms through questionnaires and urine tests, while maintaining normal sexual activity.
- Results indicated that the first cystitis episode typically occurred around age 33, with a significant portion of women experiencing symptoms related to sexual activity, highlighting the need for effective management strategies in this population.
Implementation of a tailored multifaceted antibiotic stewardship intervention to improve antibiotic prescribing for urinary tract infections in frail older adults (ImpresU) in four European countries: a process evaluation alongside a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial.

October 2024
Department of Medicine for Older People, Amsterdam, UMC, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, De Boelelaan 1117, Amsterdam, 1081 HV, The Netherlands.
Background: We previously performed a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) in general practices and older adult care organizations in Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. We found that a multifaceted antibiotic stewardship intervention (ASI) substantially reduced antibiotic use for suspected urinary tract infections (UTIs) in frail older adults compared with usual care. We aimed to evaluate the implementation process of the ASI to provide recommendations for clinical practice.

Salmonella is a rod-shaped gram-negative bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae, commonly present in the gastrointestinal tract in humans and animals. Salmonella-associated bacteriuria and prostatitis are rare but have been reported in humans, predominantly older patients with underlying diseases, including urinary tract obstructions, diabetes mellitus, and compromised immunity. In dogs, Salmonella bacteriuria and prostatitis have only been described in patients on immunosuppressive medications.
