   Författare :Nils Rodhe; Lars Englund; Kurt Svärdsudd; Sigvard Mölstad; Anders Baerheim; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; family practice; aged 80 and over; E. coli; bacteriuria; urinary tract infections; urinary incontinence; leukocyte esterase; cytokines; Family medicine; Allmänmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore the features of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in elderly people living in the community, and to seek diagnostic tools to discriminate between ASB and symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI). All men and women aged 80 and over living in an urban district of Falun, Sweden, were invited to participate. LÄS MER

3. 2. Mechanisms of microbial-host interaction during asymptomatic bacteriuria

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asymptomatic bacteriuria; Urinary tract infection; Escherichia coli 83972; IRF3; TLR4; Evolution; host response; promoter polymorphisms; transcription; P fimbriae; Type 1 fimbriae;

   Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTIs) present an interesting and relevant model for studying microbial adaptation. After establishing significant numbers, the bacteria either cause severe disease, or an asymptomatic carrier state resembling the normal flora at other mucosal sites. LÄS MER

5. 4. Diagnostic aspects of urinary tract infections among elderly residents of nursing homes

   Författare :Pär-Daniel Sundvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacteriuria; Nursing Homes; Homes for the Aged; Urinary Tract Infections; Predictive Value of Tests; Dipstick Urinalysis; Interleukin-6; Drug Resistance; Bacterial.;

   Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Up to half the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which should not be treated with antibiotics. Thus, it is difficult to know if new symptoms in residents with bacteriuria are caused by urinary tract infection (UTI), or if bacteriuria only represents an ABU. LÄS MER

7. 5. Escherichia coli Fimbriae, Bacterial Persistence and Host Response Induction in the Human Urinary Tract

   Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Symptomatic UTIs may be acute, recurrent or chronic but the most frequent form of UTI is asymptomatic bacteruria (ABU). In ABU, the mucosa remains inert, despite the presence of large bacterial numbers in urine. LÄS MER
