    Direct bladder instillation of antimicrobial solutions did not eliminate chronic Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteriuria. Hydrogen peroxide showed in vitro efficacy and minimal symptoms, suggesting potential as a prophylactic agent.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Microbiology
    • Antimicrobial Research

    Background:

    • Chronic bacteriuria, particularly with Staphylococcus epidermidis, presents a persistent clinical challenge.
    • Limited effective treatments exist for established bacterial colonization within the bladder.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of direct bladder instillation of hydrogen peroxide, povidone-iodine, and acetic acid for treating chronic Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteriuria.
    • To assess the in vitro antimicrobial activity of these solutions against Staphylococcus epidermidis in urine.

    Main Methods:

    • In vivo bladder instillation of antimicrobial solutions (50-400ml) with varying retention times (30 seconds to 48 hours).
    • In vitro quantitative analysis of bacterial survival in urine mixed with antimicrobial solutions over 24 hours.

  • Assessment of patient-reported symptoms of discomfort post-instillation.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant reduction in established Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteriuria was observed following in vivo bladder instillation.
    • Hydrogen peroxide demonstrated the least in vivo discomfort.
    • In vitro studies showed hydrogen peroxide effectively reduced Staphylococcus epidermidis survival in urine.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct bladder instillation of these antimicrobial solutions is ineffective for established chronic bacteriuria.
    • Hydrogen peroxide's in vitro efficacy and favorable in vivo symptom profile warrant further investigation as a prophylactic agent.
