“…Moreover, used PCR methods differentiated E. faecalis and S. agalactiae that were sensitive to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid from E. faecium mostly resistant to this antibacterial drug. Our results draw attention to the emergence of organisms resistant to ciprofloxacin and cotrimoxazole, many authors list drugs as standard treatments for UTI 6,32. Local UTI treatment guidelines seem to be very important.…”

Background. The objective of this study was: i) to compare the results of urine culture with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) -based detection of microorganisms using two commercially available kits, ii) to assess antimicrobial susceptibility of urine isolates from cancer patients to chosen antimicrobial drugs and, if necessary, to update the recommendation of empirical therapy. Materials and methods. A one-year hospital-based prospective study has been conducted in Greater Poland Cancer Centre and Genetic Medicine Laboratory CBDNA Research Centre in 2011. Urine cultures and urine PCR assay from 72 patients were examined Results. Urine cultures and urine PCR assay from 72 patients were examined. Urine samples were positive for 128 strains from which 95 (74%) were identical in both tests. The most frequently isolated bacteria in both culture and PCR assay were coliform organisms and Enterococcus spp. The Gram negative bacilli were most resistant to cotrimoxazol. 77.2% of these bacilli and 100% of E. faecalis and S. agalactiae were sensitive to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. 4.7% of Gram positive cocci were resistant to nitrofurantoin. Conclusions. The PCR method quickly finds the causative agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) and, therefore, it can help with making the choice of the proper antimicrobial therapy at an early stage. It appears to be a viable alternative to the recommendations made in general treatment guidelines, in cases where diversified sensitivity patterns of microorganisms have been found.

“…Radiation toxicity may have also been intensified by surgery side effects, such as bladder dysfunction or infections in the lower part of the urinary system. 6,[24][25][26]12,27,34 A note should be taken that total radiation doses in patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy were lower than in patients treated with radiotherapy alone. But the size of dose is only one of the factors determining the occurrence of radiation toxicity, aside from those commonly recognised, such as age, metabolic diseases, chronic gastrointestinal or urinary.…”

The results of the present study show that S. aureus may generally be isolated from the genital tract of female patients with neoplastic disease of uterus but is not often observed as inflammation factor of this tract. Comparison of species' resistance patterns may be used in epidemiological studies in order to discover the source of infections and therefore be of profound significance in the prevention of nosocomial infections.
