Complicated Urinary Tract InfectionAcute Pyelonephritis

This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, non-inferiority study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of FEP-TAZ vs. meropenem in the treatment of hospitalized adults with cUTI or AP.

Asymptomatic Renal Calculi in Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary Tract InfectionsKidney Stone

This study will assess patients who have recurrent urinary tract infections and kidney stones which are not blocking the kidney or causing other problems. Currently, we don't know if taking out these stones will improve recurrent urinary tract infections or not. Patients will make a decision with their surgeon about removing or monitoring their stone(s). Whether or not their infections continue with surgery or monitoring will be noted, and this information may help to inform future treatment decisions. The purpose of this study is to assess if treatment of these asymptomatic stones affects the rate of recurrent urinary tract infections.

Comparison of Two Bladder Catheterization Strategies in Thoracic Surgery Patients With an Enhanced...

Urinary RetentionChronic Kidney Infection1 more

General anesthesia, thoracic epidural, and morphine inhibit the urination process and promote postoperative Acute Urinary Retention (AUR) after thoracic surgery. Indwelling bladder catheterization prevents this risk, but is associated with other complications (urinary tract infection, delayed mobilization). With the rise of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, bladder catheterization is being questioned. The current protocol in the department is to catheterize only patients with a high bladder volume in the post anesthesia care unit (defined as a bladder volume > 400 ml on bladder scan). Preliminary results from the "AirLeaks" study show a high rate of early postoperative AUR (approximately 50%). The investigators believe that a "systematic intermittent catheterization" (SIC) strategy is superior to the current "bladder scan-guided catheterization in the post anesthesia care unit" (BSGC) strategy in preventing the risk of postoperative AUR. To their knowledge, no study has compared these two bladder catheterization strategies in a thoracic accelerated rehabilitation protocol.

Role of Prophylactic Postoperative Antibiotics in HoLEP

Benign Prostatic HyperplasiaUrinary Tract Infections

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether prescribing a 3-day course of antibiotics after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) reduces the risk of urinary tract infection. The findings of this trial will have a major impact on clinical practice to either justify the prescription of antibiotics after HoLEP or give urologists more confidence in not prescribing antibiotics prophylactically after HoLEP.

Nettle and Cranberry Capsules for Prevention of Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary Tract Infection

This study investigates whether the oral intake of a nettle and cranberry complex capsule may prevent recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI). Participants will be aged between 30 - 75 years of age, with confirmed diagnosis of UTI status. The participants will be assessed for several parameters and asked to take 2 nettle and cranberry complex capsules twice daily for 8 weeks. The parameters will include international prostate symptoms score (IPSS), overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), international consultation on incontinence questionnaire - overactive bladder (ICIQ-OAB), 3-day bladder diary (3dBD), and urine routine.

Comparison of Three Different Antibiotic Treatments Against Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in...

Recurrent Urinary Tract InfectionsChronic Urinary-catheter-carrier3 more

Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) in the patients chronically catheterized are serious challenges clinically. The pathogens are often multidrug-resistant bacteria and such UTIs are actually biofilm infections. Currently standard antibiotic treatment against UTI in Denmark is sensitive antibiotic monotherapy. Theoretically antibiotic monotherapy is not a good treatment against biofilm infections. In the patients with impaired renal functions, both i.v. and p.o. antibiotic treatments function poor. Therefore, bladder lavage might help. In the study, the participants will be randomly divided into three groups (monotherapy, combination and bladder lavage). The investigators will evaluate the results and find a better treatment based on the clinical evidences, which might benefit the patients.

Does Antibiotic Prophylaxis at Urinary Catheter Removal Prevent Urinary Tract Infections

Urologic DiseasesUrinary Tract Disease

At the end of most urological procedures, the doctor inserts a urethral catheter for a period of up to 5 days. According to AUA's guidelines, prophylactic antibiotic is indicated during catheter removal. The aim of our study is to check the influence of the antibiotic treatment on urinary tract infections after catheter removal

Low Energy Surface Waves for Neurogenic Bladder Patients With Indwelling Catheters

Neurogenic BladderUrinary Tract Infections

The Uroshield device is a commercially available device with two parts: a disposable actuator which attaches to the external portion of the catheter and a portable battery. The device sends out low-frequency ultrasound waves which run along the surfaces of the catheter. These acoustic waves prevent bacteria from adhering to the catheter and prevent the formation of biofilm. Our objective is to conduct a pilot study to determine if the UroShield device can reduce bacteriuria and catheter biofilm formation among neurogenic bladder patients with an indwelling catheter, as well as improve urinary quality of life and symptoms.

Use of Antibiotic Based Irrigation for Ureteroscopic Treatment of Urolithiasis

Urinary Tract InfectionsSepsis

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the use of gentamicin-based irrigation fluid during ureteroscopy decreases the risk of UTIs and other post-operative infections after surgery.

Potentiated Aminoglycosides in Postoperative Urinary Tract Infection Prophylaxis

Urinary Tract InfectionsUrological System Complication of Procedure

Urinary tract hardware such as pig-tail catheters are are frequently used for management of urolithiasis or other obstructive pathologies. They are readily colonized by urogenital flora leading to asymptomatic bacteriuria. While asymptomatic bacteriuria is not per se a problem for patients, it may lead to severe infections in the context of hardware manipulation leading to mucosal damage (e.g. catheter exchanges or stone extraction). Such interventions therefore warrant an antibiotic prophylaxis. However, bacteria rapidly form biofilms on hardware; aside of fluoroquinolones, antibiotics have limited anti-biofilm activity. Furthermore, the widespread use of antibiotics has lead to resistant strains. Hence, novel antimicrobial strategies are needed. Recently, metabolism-based potentiation of aminoglycoside has shown high antimicrobial activity against persistent forms of bacteria such as biofilms in the context of murine catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Because of the highly favorable pharmacodynamic profile of aminoglycoside in the urinary tract and the metabolic potentiation, aminoglycosides can be reduced to levels with minimal toxicity. UROPOT aims to compare the efficacy of potentiated aminoglycoside to standard of care for (i) prophylaxis of asymptomatic bacteriuria during urinary hardware manipulations with mucosal trauma (Pig-tail catheter exchange, stone surgery with prior in-dwelling catheter, etc.) and (ii) sustained microbiological eradication through antibiofilm activity. UROPOT will compare the rate of post-interventional urinary tract infections (primary outcome). It will also assess safety and eradication potency (microbiological outcome).
