Bacteremia complicating gram-negative urinary tract infections: A population-based study

Abstract: Background-Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common and bacteremia complicating this infection is frequently seen. There has been limited data published that characterize bacteremic UTI in a population-based setting over an extended period. We therefore examined the incidence rate, microbiology, outcome, and in vitro antimicrobial resistance trends of bacteremic UTI due to gramnegative bacilli in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from 1/1/1998 to 12/31/2007.

“…The lower mortality rate in our study may be partially explained by a lower percentage of comorbidities such as dementia and a lower percentage of patients hospitalized for more than 21 days, which was found to be an important risk factor in one previous study; there was little difference in the definition of duration of hospitalization [5]. Lower mortality associated with community-acquired infection and E. coli UTI [24] may also partially explain these differences. In our study, the number of patients, which was not as high as in previous studies ([600 patients) may explain the similar detection rate of positive blood cultures between cases with two or more blood cultures and cases with one blood culture [11,12].…”

“…5 Bloodstream infections also are found frequently in patients with malignancies, 6 endocarditis, 7 and urinary tract infections. 8 In severe cases, bacteremia elicits a vigorous immune response that results in sepsis and septic shock. 9 Bloodstream infections often are accompanied by thrombocytopenia.…”

“…In addition, this protein contributes to disseminated infections (5,12), such as those that result from an ascending urinary tract infection (1,6,11). Indeed, it is estimated that Gram-negative bacilli, including E. coli, are the cause of up to 24% of cases of bacteremia annually in the United States alone (10).…”
