Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common health problem. They are caused by bacteria from the environment getting into the urinary tract. A total of 118 urine samples were collected from 102 patients (Men and Women) with UTIs admitted to a general hospital in AL-Najaf City, Iraq, between October to 2022 and February 2023. Standard laboratory methods were used to culture urine and to diagnose all bacterial isolates that were grown on laboratory media. The Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was used to test antibiotic susceptibility. Out of a total of 118 urine samples there were 106 urine samples with positive bacterial growth and 12 urine samples without bacterial growth. E. coli was the most predominant bacteria with 50 isolates, K. pneumoniae 18, P. mirabilis 13, S. saprophyticus 10, S. aureus 9, E. faecalis 6. Gram-negative bacterial isolates were good resistance to amoxicillin 25 μg and Amoxicillin+clavulanic acid 25/10μg. Gram-positive bacterial isolates were good resistance to penicillin 6 μg and ampicillin 10 μg. The most effective antibiotic was imipenem 10μg, which inhibited all bacterial growth.

“…Chlamydia trachomatis , the most common sexually transmitted disease, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, are predominant in epididymo-orchitis and urethritis [ 16 ]. On the other hand, acute and chronic prostatitis are mainly caused by Escherichia coli , along with other Enterobacteriaceae ( Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ), Enterococcus spp., and Staphylococcus aureus [ 17 , 18 ].…”

The human body is vastly colonised by microorganisms, whose impact on health is increasingly recognised. The human genital tract hosts a diverse microbiota, and an increasing number of studies on the male genital tract microbiota suggest that bacteria have a role in male infertility and pathological conditions, such as prostate cancer. Nevertheless, this research field remains understudied. The study of bacterial colonisation of the male genital tract is highly impacted by the invasive nature of sampling and the low abundance of the microbiota. Therefore, most studies relied on the analysis of semen microbiota to describe the colonisation of the male genital tract (MGT), which was thought to be sterile. The aim of this narrative review is to present the results of studies that used next-generation sequencing (NGS) to profile the bacterial colonisation patterns of different male genital tract anatomical compartments and critically highlight their findings and their weaknesses. Moreover, we identified potential research axes that may be crucial for our understanding of the male genital tract microbiota and its impact on male infertility and pathophysiology.

“…For example, oral fosfomycin is not an orally bioavailable agent (<50%) but has excellent penetration to prostate tissue with an evolving evidencebased for treating chronic bacterial prostatitis. 15 Contemporary literature reviewing the administration of oral versus parenteral therapy for select cases of osteomyelitis, infective endocarditis, and bacteremia has confirmed the usage of oral therapies to be effective if optimal doses can be clinically achieved. [16][17][18] Additionally, the usage of oral therapies obviates the risk of phlebitis, thrombosis, and line-associated bloodstream T A B L E 1 Antimicrobials with high oral bioavailability.…”

Antimicrobials are one of the most administered medications in hospitals. Thoughtful and rational antibiotic prescribing by clinicians are important in reducing the adverse effects to both the host that takes the antibiotic and also the individuals in the host's community. Principles informing antibiotic prescribing in the hospital are commonly rooted in misconceptions. We review 10 common myths associated with antibacterial usage in hospitalized patients and share contemporary evidence in hopes of enhancing evidence‐informed practice in this patient care setting.
