Urinary Tract Calculi I: Introduction

449
Renal calculi, or kidney stones, are solid deposits of minerals and salts formed inside the kidneys. In medical terminology, "calculus" refers to the stone itself, while "lithiasis" describes the process of stone formation. Depending on their location within the urinary system, these stones may be classified as either urolithiasis, when situated within the urinary tract, or nephrolithiasis, when located within the kidneys. Each term signifies the specific impact of the stone.Predisposition...

Urinary Tract Infection I: Introduction

608
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) impact various parts of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. These infections are generally bacterial, with Escherichia coli being the most common causative agent, often originating from the gastrointestinal tract. However, other bacteria, such as Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis, are also known to cause UTIs. The type, location, and underlying complexity of the UTI guide both...

Urinary Tract Infection II: Pathophysiology

619
The pathophysiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) encompasses several progressive stages, beginning with bacterial colonization and culminating in potential systemic complications if untreated. UTIs are primarily initiated by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which often originate from the gastrointestinal tract and migrate to the urinary system through the periurethral area. This migration can occur via several routes, including improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or...

293
AssessmentSubjective Data: Obtain a detailed health history, including any recent or chronic urinary tract infections, periods of immobilization, previous episodes of renal calculi, and medical conditions such as gout, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or hyperparathyroidism. Review the medication history for drugs that may influence stone formation, including allopurinol, analgesics, loop diuretics, or thiazide diuretics. Document the use of long-term indwelling catheters and any past surgical...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

456
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Urinary Tract Infection IV: Nursing Management

460
In managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in nursing, a comprehensive assessment is essential. Begin by gathering subjective data, such as the patient’s complaints of dysuria (painful urination), urinary frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and any lower abdominal discomfort. This information can be complemented by questions regarding previous UTIs, sexual activity, and personal hygiene practices, which can provide insight into risk factors. Objective assessment should focus on signs...

Summary

Corynebacterium coyleae, a common skin bacterium, can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly in women. Some strains show resistance to common UTI antibiotics like ciprofloxacin.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Corynebacterium coyleae is a commensal bacterium found on skin and mucous membranes.
  • While previously isolated from urinary tract infections (UTIs), its role as a pathogen remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of Corynebacterium coyleae as an etiological agent of UTIs.
  • To determine the antibiotic susceptibility profile of C. coyleae isolated from urine samples.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative urine culture and bacterial identification using Vitek MS.
  • Antibiotic susceptibility testing via disc diffusion according to EUCAST guidelines.
  • Analysis of 39 C. coyleae isolates from January 2017 to October 2018.

Main Results:

  • C. coyleae was isolated from 0.32% of urine samples, predominantly from women.
  • In 6 cases, C. coyleae was the sole organism cultured, suggesting a potential etiological role.
  • All isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, but 58.4% exhibited resistance to ciprofloxacin.

Conclusions:

  • Most C. coyleae urine isolates represent contamination or normal flora (72%).
  • However, C. coyleae can be a potential UTI pathogen, especially when isolated as a single species.
  • Observed antibiotic resistance, particularly to ciprofloxacin, necessitates careful consideration in UTI treatment.
