Uti Or Yeast Infection Quiz

Serratia marcescens is often nosocomial and drug-resitant.

Tamm-Horsfall protein is an antiadherence factor and prevents binding of pathogens to uroepithelial cells.

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.

Clindamycin- Treat anaerobic infections Imipenem/ cilastatin- Drug choice for enterobacter (not important to know yet) Aminoglycosides- require oxygen uptake; therefore ineffective for anaerobes, examples- gentamicin

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.

A beta-lactam drug that inhibits cell wall synthesis by inhibition of peptidoglycan cross-linking. Other drugs include- penicillin, ampicillin.

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.

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.

need to be confirmed by MSU

simple rule is to investigate all men with UTI

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) * Diaphragm

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.
