Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a microbial infection of the kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra. Urinary tract is the most common form of infection. Resistance to the extended-spectrum cephalosporins can occur in Klebsiella species due to production of the extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs) that make hydrolysis of the oxyiminocephalosporins and monobactams. The aim of the present work was intended to be a prospective study of the plasmid features of Klebsiella isolates, obtained from hospitalized
A Urinary tract infection (UTI) including the bladder and kidneys, is an infection that encompasses the entire urinary system. The kidneys and bladder filter the blood to make Urine. A urinary catheter is a thin tube placed in the bladder to drain urine. Urine drains through the tube into a bag where the urine collects. When the whole system is compromised, a patient can become very ill. A catheter provides a link between the outside environment and a usually sterile system. Now that the catheter
is a church community of mainly older people from the age of 50 years and above. The topic taught was “Primary Prevention of UTI/Health Promotion”. This teaching lasted for about 30 minutes. The objectives of the teaching were that the church community will understand what urinary tract infection (UTI) means, causes of urinary tract infection, primary ways of preventing UTI, and health promotion. At the end of the teaching peoples understanding of the teaching was assessed and evaluated. Few barriers
2- Scenario 2 Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infections diagnosed among women in the world. There has been increasing concern for alternative method to treat urinary tract infection over antibiotics since misuse of antibiotics can led to bacterial resistance(Scholes et al., 2004). This essay will establish PICO (population, intervention, comparison and outcome) question in the given scenario where a 22 year old Susan visits the GP with symptoms of urinary frequency, dysuria
Urinary Tract Infection and its Effect on the Body System Urinary tract infection also referred to as UTI is the second most common infection in the body. The urinary tract system in your body which includes the bladder and kidneys makes urine and carries it out of your body. When germs get into the urinary tract system an infection is typically formed. UTI’s are usually caused when unwanted bacteria enters through the urethra and begins to multiply (www.mayoclinic.org). The bacteria that are normally
Background and Significance Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are caused by transmission of bacteria to the urinary tract via the urinary catheter during catheter insertion, via the catheter lumen, or by handling of the catheter drainage bag (Mori, 2014). Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for about 35% of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and about 80% of the UTIs are related to the presence of indwelling urinary catheter (IUC). CAUTIs are a significant problem affecting
the urethra and can cause a urinary tract infection. A “UTI” can occur in different parts of the urinary tract such as the kidneys, the ureter, the bladder or the urethra. They are more common in woman than in men. This is due to the females having a shorter urethra. According to Balentine (2015), “about 40% of women and 12% of men will experience a UTI in their lifetime”(p.1). It is because of the anatomical and physiological differences between the male and female urinary system that UTI’s are more
Urinary Tract Infection The urinary tract is the body’s is a filtration system that makes sure nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and toxins are rejected as waste and come out in liquid form through the bladder and urethra. Any substance unrecognized by this system such as bacteria can cause an infection in this tract system in the body known as urinary tract infection (UTI). The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, the ureters, bladder and urethra. The kidneys take nutrients from
A urinary tract infection or UTI is an infection that can happen anywhere along the urinary tract. Your urinary tract is the system that makes urine and carries it out of your body. Urinary tract infections can have different names, depending on what part of the urinary tract is infected. The infection can be in the bladder, kidneys, ureters, or the urethra. If the infection is in the bladder it is called cystitis or a bladder infection. If the infection is in the kidneys is it called pyelonephritis
practice, nurses soon realize that many patients will acquire urinary tract infection (UTI) during their stay in hospital. Research and practice have both shown that the main cause of frequent UTI in hospital has been urethral catheter for the patients. Meddings, Reichert, Robers, Saint, Stephansky & McMahon (2012) find that most (59% to 86%) hospital-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) are catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) (p. 305). According to Dailly (2011), "approximately
