All these are examples of urinary tract infections EXCEPT...
- A.
Cystitis
- B.
Urethritis
- C.
Pyleonephritis
- D.
Perinephric abscess
- E.
Periurethritis
Correct Answer
E. PeriurethritisExplanation
Periurethritis is not an example of a urinary tract infection. Cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, and perinephric abscess are all types of urinary tract infections. Periurethritis refers to inflammation of the tissues surrounding the urethra, rather than an infection within the urinary tract itself.Rate this question:

- 3.
All of these infectious/ virulence/ bacterial factors can lead to UTIs except...
- A.
Fimbriae (pili) of bacteria
- B.
Capsular antigens
- C.
Siderophores
- D.
Tamm-Horsfall protein
Correct Answer
D. Tamm-Horsfall proteinExplanation
Tamm-Horsfall protein is an antiadherence factor and prevents binding of pathogens to uroepithelial cells.Rate this question:

- 4.
Which of these symptoms does not increase the probability of UTI?
- A.
Dysuria
- B.
Haematuria
- C.
Vaginal discharge
- D.
Suprapubic pain
- E.
Back pain
Correct Answer
C. Vaginal dischargeExplanation
Vaginal discharge does not increase the probability of UTI because it is not directly related to the urinary tract. UTIs are caused by bacteria entering the urethra and multiplying in the bladder, causing symptoms such as dysuria, haematuria, suprapubic pain, and back pain. Vaginal discharge is more commonly associated with vaginal infections or other gynecological issues, rather than UTIs.Rate this question:

- 5.
Which of these are not diagnostic testing for UTI?
- A.
C-Reactive Protein test
- B.
Leucocyte esterase test
- C.
Greiss test
- D.
Urinalysis
Correct Answer
A. C-Reactive Protein testExplanation
The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test is not a diagnostic testing for UTI. CRP is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. While a UTI can cause inflammation, the CRP test is not specific to UTIs and can be elevated in various other conditions such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and even after surgery. Therefore, it is not a reliable test for diagnosing UTIs. Urinalysis, on the other hand, is a commonly used diagnostic test for UTIs as it can detect the presence of bacteria, white blood cells, and other markers of infection in the urine. The Leucocyte esterase test is also a part of urinalysis and helps to identify the presence of white blood cells in the urine, indicating an infection. The Greiss test is not a common diagnostic test for UTIs and is used to measure nitrite levels in the urine, which can be an indicator of bacterial infection.Rate this question:

UTIs are classified as recurrent when ________________________.
- A.
The causative organisms are drug resitant.
- B.
The patient is infected by the same causative organisms again.
- C.
It is more than three episodes per year.
- D.
The patient is diagnosed with UTI at the same times every year.
- E.
The patient has more than three positive MSU test and urine culture per year.

- A.
The woman had just started menopause.
- B.
The woman who just returned from vacation in Bali.
- C.
The man who has manageable type-II diabetes.
- D.
The woman who just had a kidney transplant.
Correct Answer

-
- 8.
Antibiotics are used to treat UTIs. What is the mechanism of action for antibiotic cephalosporins?
- A.
Block cell wall synthesis
- B.
Block protein synthesis at 30S ribosomal subunit
- C.
Block DNA topoisomerases
- D.
Block nucleotide synthesis
- E.
Increase aquaporins synthesis
Correct Answer
A. Block cell wall synthesisExplanation
A beta-lactam drug that inhibits cell wall synthesis by inhibition of peptidoglycan cross-linking. Other drugs include- penicillin, ampicillin.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
Which of these drugs block protein synthesis at the 30S ribosomal subunit?
- A.
Polymyxins
- B.
Erythromycin
- C.
Tetracyclines
- D.
Vancomycin
Correct Answer
C. TetracyclinesExplanation
Tetracyclines are a group of antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. This prevents the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome, thereby blocking the elongation of the growing peptide chain. Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics and are effective against a wide range of bacteria.Rate this question:

Which is the correct clinical use of aminoglycosides?
- A.
Drug of choice for Enterobacter.
- B.
Severe gram-negative rod infections.
- C.
Treat anaerobic infections.
- D.
Strengthen Lactobacillus to protect further infection.
Correct Answer
B. Severe gram-negative rod infections.Explanation
Clindamycin- Treat anaerobic infections Imipenem/ cilastatin- Drug choice for enterobacter (not important to know yet) Aminoglycosides- require oxygen uptake; therefore ineffective for anaerobes, examples- gentamicinRate this question:

Which of these is not responsible for the management of recurrent UTIs?
- A.
Having proanthocyanidin supplements
- B.
Intravaginal oestrogens for postmenopausal women
- C.
Using contraceptive barrier methods during sex
- D.
Prophylactic therapy
Correct Answer
C. Using contraceptive barrier methods during sexExplanation
proanthocyanidin appears in cranberry juice (reduce attachment of pathogens to uroepithelium) The following are barrier methods of contraception. * Condom (with spermicides) * Female condom * Cervical cap (including Lea's Shield) * DiaphragmRate this question:

What are the typical symptoms of UTIs in children?
- A.
Back pain
- B.
Haematuria
- C.
Enuresis
- D.
Groin pain
Correct Answer
C. EnuresisExplanation
Enuresis, or bedwetting, is a common symptom of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. UTIs can cause irritation and inflammation in the bladder, leading to increased urgency and frequency of urination. In some cases, children may not be able to control their bladder and experience involuntary bedwetting. Therefore, enuresis is a typical symptom of UTIs in children.Rate this question:
