Although mixed bacterial infections can occur, the vast majority of UTIs involve a single bacterial species.In cats, bacterial UTIs are less common than in dogs. Most often, these reports are false positives.
In the future, the clinical usefulness of oral agents, such as linezolid, for the treatment of this urinary tract infection should be tested.
This bacterium can synthesize struvite stones (because of its strong urease activity) and develop encrusted pyelitis and cystitis [2–4].
It is, however, an important isolate when found in conjunction with a urinary tract infection.In contrast to acid-producing bacteria like Escherichia coli, C. urealyticum, as the name implies, secretes the enzyme urease which can be strong enough to make urine alkaline. Vancomycin and teicoplanin appear to be equally efficacious in human patients.Bacterial UTIs are commonly diagnosed in dogs.
The antimicrobial susceptibility of all isolates ofCorynebacterium urealyticum was tested. The clinical manifestations are usually trenant and do not respond to usual antimicrobial therapy.The diagnosis is based on anamnesis and the clinical context, on urine examination, as well as imaging and endoscopic explorations. It is a slow‐growing, lipophilic, asaccharolytic and usually multidrug‐resistant organism with potent urease activity.
a. Gram-positive, non-hemolytic, urease-positive, catalase-positive, non-spore forming, aerobic bacillus. Recent reports describe the emergence of multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacteria, including ESBL-producing and carbapenemase-producing organisms.An occasional horse, male or female, may develop severe encrusting cystitis in association with ascending infections with A: Re-warming the sample will not necessarily allow the crystals to go back into solution.A: Cellular casts are very fragile and frequently degenerate during transport to a reference laboratory. This bacterium can synthesize struvite stones (because of its strong urease activity) and develop encrusted pyelitis and cystitis .

Corynebacterium striatum is a nosocomial opportunistic pathogen increasingly associated with a wide range of human infections and is often resistant to several antibiotics. The prevalence of bacterial UTI in cats with lower urinary tract signs (i.e., stranguria, hematuria, pollakiuria, or dysuria; hereafter referred to as LUTS) evaluated by referral institutions has ranged from just 1% to 3%,Uncommon forms of bacterial UTI in dogs and cats are Definitions applied to infections of the urinary and genital tract are shown in Recurrence of UTI may reflect refractory (or persistent) infection, relapsing infection, or re-infection (see We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads.
The susceptibilities of 265 strains of Corynebacterium species and other non-spore-forming gram-positive bacilli to 18 antimicrobial agents were tested. Patients were not systematically selected; they were consecutive renal transplant recipients attended in the office or hospital ward, regardless of time since transplantation. Although mixed bacterial infections can occur, the vast majority of UTIs involve a single bacterial species.In cats, bacterial UTIs are less common than in dogs.
