“…17 Immune-system deregulation owing to low adiponectin levels-which alters cytokine production by leukocytes-plus natural killer cell cytotoxicity was proposed as a possible mechanism underlying this association. 18 Nonetheless, a similar rate of postoperative UTI was observed for the two groups in the present study. Furthermore, the ABBREVO procedure was found to be a safe and efficient procedure for use among patients characterized as obese.…”

“…Obesity is potentially associated with UTI, with a hazard ratio of 1.25 reported for obese women versus those of normal weight . Immune‐system deregulation owing to low adiponectin levels—which alters cytokine production by leukocytes—plus natural killer cell cytotoxicity was proposed as a possible mechanism underlying this association . Nonetheless, a similar rate of postoperative UTI was observed for the two groups in the present study.…”

“…In addition to drug resistance, obesity also increases the risk of RUTIs infection in women. One study revealed significant correlation of obesity with RUTIs (p<0.001) where fatness increases the risk of recurrent infections in women by 27% and drug resistance by 20% (32). In present study, the association between weight and drug resistance also significant compared to other variables.…”

The characterization of multidrug resistant type 1 S-fimbriated Escherichia coli from women with recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) in Bangladesh ABSTRACT Background: Escherichia coli is a bacterial species that is most frequently associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) worldwide. Recurrent UTIs (RUTIs) pose a major threat to health, especially in women. However, studies on the pathogenic potentials of E. coli isolates associated with RUTIs has yet to be done. The present study was designed to characterize the isolates of E. coli from women, suffering from repeated UTIs in Bangladesh. Methods: A total of 15 isolates of E. coli, collected from women with RUTIs in the Sylhet city of Bangladesh, were analyzed by a series of biochemical and molecular tests. Results: The PCR amplification of the mannose-resistant type 1 S-fimbriae gene (sfa1) confirmed all sfa1 + isolates of E. coli. In an antibiogram assay, all the isolates of E. coli were found to be completely resistant to at least five of the ten commercial antibiotics and drug resistance were found to be correlated with the weight of the RUTIs patient. Analysis of the 16S rRNA data of the two most drug-resistant and clinically significant isolates were found to be clustered with the drug-resistant UTI-causing E. coli isolates, circulated in India. Conclusions: This study could pave the way of RUTIs diagnosis and treatment strategy for women in Bangladesh.

“…Many other factors have been thought to predispose women to RUTIs, such as voiding patterns pre-and post-coitus, wiping technique, wearing tight undergarments, deferred voiding habits and vaginal douching; nevertheless, there has been no proven association [304]. Obesity was found to be associated with RUTIs in premenopausal women [305]. Several other risk factors are associated with cystitis, a prior UTI, vaginal infection, diabetes, and genetic susceptibility [306].…”

Pharmacy practice has changed significantly lately. The professionals have the chance to contribute straightforwardly to patient consideration so as to lessen morbimortality identified with medication use, promoting wellbeing and preventing diseases. Healthcare organizations worldwide are under substantial pressure from increasing patient demand. Unfortunately, a cure is not always possible particularly in this era of chronic complications, and the role of physicians has become limited to controlling and palliating symptoms.The increasing population of patients with longterm conditions are associated with high levels of morbidity, healthcare costs and GP workloads. Clinical pharmacy took over an aspect of medical care that had been partially abandoned by physicians. Overburdened by patient loads and the explosion of new drugs, physicians turned to pharmacists more and more for drug information, especially within institutional settings. Once relegated to counting and pouring, pharmacists headed institutional reviews of drug utilization and served as consultants to all types of health-care facilities. In addition, when clinical pharmacists are active members of the care team, they enhance proficiency by: Providing critical input on medicine use and dosing. Working with patients to solve problems with their medications and improve compliance.
