Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections

This phase 1b study is a double-blind, double-dummy, nitrofurantoin-controlled study designed to evaluate microbiological response at the test of cure (ToC) visit along with safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) response following daily oral dosing for 5 days of GSK3882347 in an adult female with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI). Comparator nitrofurantoin will be included in the study to ensure unbiased reporting of safety events. The study will be separated into 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 consists of an inpatient treatment period and PK analysis at frequent timepoints. Cohort 2 includes an outpatient treatment period and PK analysis conducted less frequently, at key trough timepoints.

Detection of Efflux Pump Genes Mediating Ciprofloxacin Resistance in Staphylococcus Aureus Isolates...

Patients withInfections Caused by S.Aureus Like Skin Infections Chest Infections 2 more

Among multidrug-resistant bacteria, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates were recognized to be an important mortality factor in hospital infections and a major concern in health-care and community settings . The antibiotic-resistant of S. aureus is extended by various bacterial strategies, including limiting uptake of the drug, alteration of the drugtargets, production of druginactivating enzymes and the activation of efflux pumps that effectively remove antibiotics . Relying on the type of antibiotics, bacteria can apply one or more strategies. Specifically, localization of resistance genes in transferable genetic elements, such as plasmid and transposons , causing Horizontal transfer of resistance genes between bacterial strains . MRSA strains are resistant to nearly all beta-lactam antibiotics by producing an alternative penicillin-binding protein known as PBP2a . This protein is encoded by the mecA gene and has a low affinity to manybeta-lactam antibiotics. Furthermore, these strains often show resistance to a wide range of antibiotics . The use of fluoroquinolone for the effective infectious therapy is limited by presence of fluoroquinolone resistance . There are two mechanisms causing resistance to fluoroquinolone. The first one is attributed to mutations occurring in the quinolone-resistance determining region (QRDR) of topoisomerase IV encoded by grlA/grlB and DNA gyrase encoded by gyrA/gyrB; these mutations decrease the affinity ofthe drug. The other mechanism is mediated by efflux pumps which is less recognized . Recently, several efflux pumps have been identified for S. aureus including efflux pumps encoded by chromosome or plasmids. The efflux pumps norA, norB, norC, mdeA, sepA, mepA, sdrM and lmrS are encoded by chromosome while qacA/B, qacG, qacH, qacJ and smr are plasmid-encoded . Efflux pumps could be specialized for specific substrate or mobilized a wide varieties of different antibiotic classes . Despite, efflux pumps can potentially increase resistance to antibiotics in clinical isolates of S. aureus, few studies have been evaluated the individual and collective participation of the efflux system in resistant isolates . Therefore the aim of the study is to detect ciprofloxacin resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus isolates and to detect efflux pump genes ( norA , norB and norC ) mediating resistance in such strains.

Preference of Women With Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection for Vaginal Estradiol Tablet vs Cream...

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection

Vaginally applied estrogen has been shown to decrease the incidence of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection (rUTI) in post-menopausal women. However, prior studies have shown the compliance rate for topical estrogen cream is low. The vaginal estradiol tablet has been shown to be preferred by patients being treated for genitourinary syndrome of menopause and has improved compliance. There are no studies looking at the preference of post-menopausal women with rUTI for vaginal estradiol tablet as an alternative to vaginal estradiol cream.

Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Neurogenic Bladder Botox

Neurogenic BladderPost-operative Urinary Tract Infections

Injection of Botox into the bladder is a procedure used to treat neurogenic overactive bladder at the Dianne and Irving Kipnes Urology Centre in the Kaye Edmonton Clinic. A common complication following bladder Botox is bladder infection. There are no well-studied preventative antibiotics given at the time of bladder Botox for the reduction of post-operative bladder infection. We are proposing a research study that will randomize participants into two groups - one receiving antibiotics and the other receiving placebo pills following bladder Botox. The main goal of our study is to determine if preventative antibiotics at the time of bladder Botox injection reduces post-operative bladder infection. It will provide a valuable learning opportunity for a trainee starting their academic career through working closely with established researchers across two disciplines. We hope the results of our study can ultimately be used to improve outcomes and safety for a common Urologic procedure. In addition, findings from our study could help reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics resulting in cost savings in the health care system and reduction in the risk of antibiotic resistance.

Preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections With a Virtual Simulation Game

Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract InfectionNurse's Role

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a virtual simulation game in improving nursing students' knowledge and abilities in preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Method: The study was designed as a parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A pre-test on knowledge and abilities will be administered to all students participating in the study. Following the pre-test evaluation, a training session on "CAUTI Prevention" will be held. The present training approach (lecture method) in the curriculum will be employed in this session. Following the training, the students in the sample group will be randomly divided into the experimental group (students using virtual simulation game application) and the control group (students learning with the existing education method) based on their general weighted grade averages using the stratified randomized approach. The experimental group will play the virtual simulation game for seven days. Knowledge and competence assessments (post-test) of the control and experimental groups will be conducted seven days following the training. The virtual simulation game application will be evaluated by the students in the experimental group after the post-test evaluations. The students' positive, negative, and constructive feedback on the virtual simulation game will be solicited during the assessment. In addition, these students will score in a 5-point Likert type to evaluate the statements about the virtual simulation game. Hypothesis: H0-1: There is no difference in knowledge about preventing CAUTI between students using the virtual simulation game method and students in the control group. H1-1: There is a difference in knowledge about preventing CAUTI between students using the virtual simulation game method and students in the control group. H0-2: There is no difference in CAUTI prevention skills between students using the virtual simulation game method and students in the control group. H1-2: There is a difference in CAUTI prevention skills between students using the virtual simulation game method and students in the control group.

Bacterial Interference for Preventing Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection - New Ways of Treatment...

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide. It affects 150 million people annually. Treatment of patients with UTI entails a high consumption of antibiotics and large social and health costs. With this protocol, we want to elucidate alternative treatment methods for especially recurrent urinary tract infection. Bacteria have internal competitiveness (bacterial interference) and it is known that the non-pathogenic E.coli can outcompete the pathogenic E.coli in laboratory studies. We intend to strengthen the clinical evidence that it can be used as patient treatment through a clinical, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial at Odense University Hospital.

Drug Interaction Assessment of GSK3882347 in Healthy Participants Aged 18 to 65 Years

Urinary Tract Infections

The objective of this study is to determine the magnitude and clinical relevance of a potential drug-drug interaction of GSK3882347 with midazolam (MDZ) in healthy participants. This study assesses the effect of GSK3882347 as an inducer of Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) using MDZ, a sensitive substrate of hepatic and intestinal CYP3A4. The study will investigate MDZ pharmacokinetic (PK) effect in two dosing periods: Period 1: A single dose of MDZ Period 2: 14-days of once daily repeat dosing of GSK3882347 followed by single dose of MDZ co-administered with GSK3882347 on Day 15 (14-days has been selected as this duration is required in order to maximize any potential CYP3A4 enzyme induction).
