MONTREAL—A decade after contracting acute diarrheal illness from infection with Escherichia coli 0157:H7, individuals are at increased risk for definite renal impairment with microalbuminuria, hypertension, and cardiovascular events compared with individuals not infected with the pathogen.

MUNICH, GERMANY—Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by non-coliform bacteria are significantly more common among renal transplant patients compared with the general population, according to a British study.

They cause fewer UTIs than indwelling catheters in men at high risk during anesthesia and surgery.

The problems developed following 20% of major urologic procedures in patients with chronic bacteriuria.

In a study, only 3% of ESBL-producing Escherhicia coli isolates were resistant to fosfomycin.

It is associated with fewer recurrences than lactobacilli, but it increases antibiotic resistance.

A non-pathogenic strain of E. coli lowered the UTI rate in catheterized men with neurogenic bladder.

CHICAGO—Urinary frequency and urgency are the two predominant presenting urinary symptoms in young women with their first UTI, according to a new prospective study of college-aged women.

Patients who have urinary catheters in place upon hospital admission for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) are at increased risk of postoperative UTIs, investigators reported at the 24th Annual European Association of Urology Congress in Stockholm.
