This drug combination was examined in vivo in rats with experimental pyelonephritis. The rats received trovafloxacin, rifampin, or both drugs. On the basis of the mean log10 CFU of Enterococcus faecalis from the kidneys, there was no evidence that trovafloxacin and rifampin were antagonistic in vivo.

E. coli adherence to bladder epithelium did not correlate with renal infection, the ability of E. coli to resist phagocytosis, the growth of the strains, the presence of K-antigen or dulcitol fermentation. There was also no correlation with proportion of deaths, motility, or rough mutation. Pili were observed in three of the 22 strains of E. coli and their presence was not associated with increased virulence. In this model of renal infection neither adherence of E. coli to bladder epithelial cells nor the presence of pili were significant virulence factors.

The system consisted of four categories of isolation which followed a numerical sequence that represented the necessary attire needed to complete the procedure. After 1 year of use, personnel compared the procedure-oriented system with the previously-used system (Strict, Respiratory, Wound and Skin, Enteric, and Limited Barrier). Personnel found the procedure-oriented system easier to understand (84%) and follow (83%). Seventy-six percent felt their isolation techniques had improved with the new system. A reduction in the cross-infection rate with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus did coincide with the use of the new isolation system, however, no causal relationship was established. The Category 1, 2, 3, and 4 isolation system was well received by personnel and was found to be an effective alternative to the previous, more complicated system ...

This report describes infection of the maxillary sinus and facial soft tissue with A. boydii in a compromised host. The infection did not respond to antibiotics, including amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine. Miconazole was not used in our patient, although in vitro data obtained after death indicated sensitivity of the fungus to miconazole.

Despite improvements in the techniques to drain the urinary bladder in patients with spinal cord ... more Despite improvements in the techniques to drain the urinary bladder in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), urinary tract infection (UTI) remains one of the most common complications of SCI. Despite many studies of the management of UTIs, differences of opinion remain. This has resulted from the use of different definitions of UTI, including the definitions of "significant" bacteriuria, "asymptomatic" bacteriuria, the inclusion (or exclusion) of "soft" symptoms, evidence of few complications from the infection and other risks of infection. The need to treat patients with high fever who may have bacteremia and patients with symptoms is clear. Broad coverage may be necessary until the results of culture are available because of the frequent presence of resistant bacteria colonizing the perineum or bowel. Eradication of bacteriuria is not a reasonable goal in many patients with indwelling catheters. The treatment of patients with asymptomatic bacteriuri...
