Abstract Background Fosfomycin tromethamine is recommended (category B) for the treatment of urinary tract infections in pregnant women. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of single-dose preoperative fosfomycin tromethamine in the prevention of urinary tract infection in pregnant women who underwent lower urinary tract endoscopic surgeries. Methodology The subjects of this study were pregnant women who underwent lower urinary tract endoscopic procedures. All patients received Fosfomycin tromethamine1 packet (3 g) dissolved in water the day before surgery. Routine pre- and postoperative urine analysis and urine cultures were performed when needed. Patients were monitored for urinary tract infections and the side effects of the drug. Moreover, maternal and fetal complications were monitored. Results The study was conducted on 31 pregnant women with a mean age of 24.48 ± 5.35 years. The endoscopic procedures were as follows: 28 (90.3%) DJ ureteric insertions for hydronephrosis, 2 (6.5%) urinary bladder stones, and cystoscopy (3.2%) for gross hematuria. Two (6.5%) patients had postoperative asymptomatic bacteriuria that resolved with oral antibiotic therapy. Conclusion Fosfomycin tromethamine is safe in preventing urinary tract infection and decreases the need for postoperative parenteral antibiotics in pregnant women who require lower urinary tract endoscopic procedures.

Background: Infectious disease such as urinary tract infection was found very commonly during all pregnancies. Chronic renal failure, pyelonephritis, preeclampsia, anemia, fetal mortality and premature delivery are the common complication associated with UTI in pregnancy. Hence the management and prevention of UTI in pregnancy is the crucial factor for the sustained pregnant period. It is more important for a clinician to recognize the pathogenic factor for UTI and its sensitivity profile for planning an effective treatment for infected patients. Hence the present study was designed to identify the pathogenic agents of UTI among pregnant women and to find out the drug susceptibility patterns of the isolated organism against commonly prescribed antibioticsMethods: A prospective analysis was carried out by collecting urine from the 210 patients, the sample was also processed for antimicrobial drug susceptibility testing.Results: A positive report was seen in 26 cases with 13.4% of incident rate. Escherichia coli 14 (53.8%), Klebsiella species 23.07%, Enterococcus species 7.69%, Staphylococcus aureus 3.84%, Proteus 3.84%, Pseudomonas aeroginosa 3.84%, Streptococcus pyogenes 3.84% were the most common isolate found in the present population. The isolated pathogens were sensitive to Ceftazidime, Cefotaxime, Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, and Amikacin.Conclusions: It is there for recommended that routine microbiological analysis and antibiotic sensitivity test of urine samples of pregnant women must be carried out before the administration of drugs for better treatments and managements of urinary tract infection.

Background: Urinary tract infection is a common pathology during pregnancy due to hormonal and morphological changes. Objective of this study was to improve management of urinary tract infection during prenatal care.Methods: A total of 987 pregnant women who have been in prenatal care have freely accepted to participate in cross-sectional study carried out from 1st May 2016 to 30th April 2017 at Yopougon University Hospital (Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire) were included. Patients were submitted to questionnaire by one of investigators for epidemiological component and then physical examination was carried out by her attending physician for clinical component. Then at laboratory urine was taken for culture after dipstick test.Results: Of the 987 patients included 9.4% had a urinary tract infection of which 81.7% were asymptomatic. Significant risk factors retained were existence of a history of urinary tract infection (OR=0.46; p=0,038) and gestational age of pregnancy (OR=0.44; p=0.05). Urine culture isolated germs were mainly Escherichia Coli (51.6%) and Klebsiella pneumoniaie (23.6%). These germs were all susceptible to cephalosporins. They had resistances of more than 50% to penicillins.Conclusions: Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are most common germs of urinary tract infections in pregnant women. Escherichia coli is not susceptible to penicillins with a resistance of 70% for penicillins except for clavulanic acid amoxicillin. It appears as first choice antibiotic for our prescriptions in case of probabilistic antibiotic therapy.

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of Phytolysin Active prescription in therapy of urinary tract infections in pregnant women. Materials and methods. The efficacy of Phytolysin Active (1 capsule per day for 21 days) in the complex treatment for urinary tract infection was studied in comparison with the group of pregnant women using traditional antimicrobial therapy. The first group consisted of 27 pregnant women who received complex treatment (antibiotic therapy + Phytolysin Active), the second consisted of 25 women who used exclusively antibiotic therapy. Among pregnant women in the first group, symptomatic gestational cystitis was observed in 9 (33.3%) cases, and in the second group in 8 (32%) patients. Results. The effectiveness of combination therapy with the use of Phytolysin Active was proved by significant improvement in general well-being and disappearance of cystitis symptoms in 8 (88.9%) women compared with 5 (62.5%) patients in the treatment group who used exclusively antimicrobial drugs. After treatment with the addition of Phytolysin Active to antibiotic therapy, Escherichiaсoli pathogen, which is most often diagnosed in this pathology, was observed in 1 (3.7%) women compared to 5 (20%) cases in the second group. Also, 25 (92.6%) women of the first group had no recurrence of urinary tract infections for 3 months. Conclusions. Complex treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women with the use of the drug Phytolysin Active is more effective than the use of antibiotic therapy alone, which is proved by the high rate of the pathogen elimination and absence of infection recurrence for 3 months. The synergistic action of two active components of Phytolysin Active (Polpharma) – cranberry proanthocyanidins and lactobacillus acidophilus – improves the effectiveness of treatment and prevents relapse. The study was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the institution. The informed consent of women was obtained for the research. The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

Abstract Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection in women, and it is more likely to occur during pregnancy due to mechanical and hormonal changes in pregnant women. Urinary tract infections can cause many complications for both mother and fetus. Given the roles of health behavior in the prevention of urinary tract infections and the nature of the theory of planned behavior-based education in behavioral change, the present study aimed to determine the effect of the theory of planned behavior-based education in teaching the urinary tract infection prevention behavior in pregnant women.Methods: The present study was a randomized controlled trial in which 100 pregnant women, who visited the comprehensive health service centers of Zarinshahr City, were randomly divided into two groups, intervention and control, containing 50 individuals. The data collection tools were a urine test and a questionnaire designed based on the theory of planned behavior. Five education sessions were held based on the constructs of the theory of planned behavior. We analyzed the effect of education review and data using independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney test, chi-square test, and repeated measures ANOVA (analysis of variance) one and three months after the educational intervention.Results: After implementing the educational intervention, the mean scores of knowledge and constructs of the theory of planned behavior significantly increased in the intervention group over time (P <0.001), while the difference was not significant in the control group over time. After the educational intervention, the incidence of urinary tract infections was 4.3 % in the intervention group and 21.3% in the control group.Conclusion: Given the positive effect of education based on the theory of planned behavior in changing the pregnant mothers' behavior, the theory can be used as a suitable intervention framework for implementing the educational programs to prevent urinary tract infections.Trial registration: Name: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials.

Background: Urinary tract infection is common with health impact in women and characterised by failure to treatment and recurrent episodes. Aim: This study was conducted to determine the risk factors for the development of urinary tract infection in diabetic and pregnant women in comparison to student female. Materials and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted during the period from 1st of June 2015 to the end of January 2016. The population included in the study are 563 women, of them 425 were outpatients, and 138 were inpatients. Their age range between 18 and 80 years, with a mean age of 33.59±15.29 years. Urine samples collected and cultured on blood agar and MacConkey agar by spread plate technique. Bacterial colonies with different morphology were selected, purified and identified according to their biochemical characteristics using conventional standard methods. Results: In diabetic women, there were no significant difference in mean age and BMI values between culture positive and culture negative groups. However, pus cell mean scale was significantly higher [P=0.000] in women with urinary tract infection [1.76±1.25] than in those with negative culture [0.69±1.00]. In pregnant women, BMI mean value was significantly [P=0.013] lower in pregnant women with UTI [26.14] as compared to those without infection [26.99]. Pus cell scale mean value was significantly [P=0.000] higher in pregnant women with UTI [1.55] than women with negative UTI [0.85]. While there was no significant difference in mean age between UTI positive and negative pregnant women. In female student, there was a significant difference between UTI infected and non-infected in mean age [P=0.041] and pus cell scale [P=0.000]. However, BMI was not significantly different between infected and non-infected female student. Other risk factors association are variables in the 3 groups when analysed using X2, while AUC and OR show different trends of association between risk factors and UTI. Conclusion: BMI, pus cell scale, child number, delivery method, operation history and hospital setting were significantly associated with culture positivity in the 3 studied groups as determined by AUC. While OR confirmed association with pus sale scale in the 3 groups.

Objectives: To investigate clinical characteristics, bacterial characteristics, drug resistance status in patients with urinary tract infections treated at Department of Urology, Hue University Hospital. Materials and Method: The study was conducted in 474 patients with urological disease treated at Department of Urology, Hue Universiry Hospital from July 2017 to April 2018. Urine culture was done in the patients with urine > 25 Leu/ul who have symptoms of urinary tract disease or infection symptoms. Patients with positive urine cultures were analyzed for clinical and bacterial characteristics. Results: 187/474 (39.5%) patients had symptoms associated with urinary tract infections. 85/474 (17.9%) patients were diagnosed with urinary tract infection. The positive urine culture rate was 45.5%. Symptoms of UTI were varied, and no prominent symptoms. E. coli accounts for the highest proportion (46.67%), followed by, Staphycoccus aureus (10.67%), Pseudomonas aeruginsa (8,0%), Streptococcus faecali and Proteus (2.67%). ESBL - producing E. coli was 69.23%, ESBL producing Enterobacter spp was 33.33%. Gram-negative bacteria are susceptible to meropenem, imipenem, amikacin while gram positive are vancomycin-sensitive. Conclusions: Clinical manifestations of urinary tract infections varied and its typical symptoms are unclear. E.coli is a common bacterium (46.67%). Isolated bacteria have a high rate of resistance to some common antibiotics especially the third generation cephalosporins and quinolones. Most bacteria are resistant to multiple antibiotics at the same time. Gram (+) bacteria are susceptible to vancomycin, and gram (-) bacteria are susceptible to cefoxitin, amikacin, and carbapenem.
