• Wound Infection

  Abstract Bacteria of the genus Proteus of the family Enterobacteriaceae are facultative human pathogens responsible mainly for urinary tract and wound infections, bacteremia and the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  These infections are commonly caused by infected medical equipment including catheters, nebulizers (responsible for inhalation), and examination gloves (responsible for wound infections). [web.uconn.edu]

  Proteus species can also cause wound infections, sepsis, and pneumonia, mostly in hospitalized patients.[3] Treatment[edit] P. mirabilis is generally susceptible to most antibiotics apart from tetracycline and nitrofurantoin,[4] but 10–20% of P. mirabilis [en.wikipedia.org]

It is associated with good long-term prognosis. [3, 4, 5] Accompanying findings in patients with glomerular damage may include the following (see Workup ): Active urine sediment - Dysmorphic red blood cells and red cell casts Hypoalbuminemia Lipiduria [emedicine.medscape.com]

Typically, patients with dacryocystitis return to normal after appropriate treatment, but chronic recurrences and epiphora are potential sequelae. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All patients with poor prognosis (ESKD or CRI) were in group 3 or 4 during follow-up period, whereas no patients in group 1 or 2 during the same period had poor prognosis. [journals.plos.org]

Decrease in protein excretion to less than 2 g per day, either in response to therapy or spontaneously, is associated with improved long-term prognosis. [mdcalc.com]

Prognosis Prognosis depends on the underlying cause. Prevention It is estimated that 20% of the patients who develop end-stage kidney disease in the UK have glomerulonephritis. [patient.info]

Prognosis The vast majority of proteus infections are associated with the urinary tract. Most of the infections are sensitive to the currently available antibiotics and the outcomes are good in immunocompetent patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Compartment syndrome is an orthopedic emergency with a multitude of etiologies. Although it is most commonly associated with trauma to the extremity, hematoma and infection are 2 rare etiologies of insidious compartment syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Causal mutations of PS have been reported in two components of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT signaling pathway: PTEN, which make PS a part of the PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PTHS; see this term) and AKT1. [orpha.net]

Culture: The choice of the culture media used for the isolation of the etiological agents depend on the nature of the specimen and suspected pathogens. For pus & urine sample, Blood Agar and MacConkey agar are commonly used. [microbeonline.com]

For epidemiological purposes, various molecular typing methods have been developed for this pathogen. However, these methods are labor intensive and time consuming. We evaluated a new method of differentiation between strains. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although other organisms can trigger a similar response, it is useful to consider gram-negative bacteremia as a distinct entity because of its characteristic epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and treatment. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology The interaction between P. mirabilis and the host defense (immune) system determines the resultant infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There are three different pathophysiological mechanisms that may lead to proteinuria: damage to the glomeruli (glomerular), damage to the tubules (tubular), or overproduction of low-molecular-weight proteins (overflow). [amboss.com]

The pathophysiologic mechanisms of proteinuria can be classified as glomerular, tubular or overflow ( Table 2 7 ). [aafp.org]

This study evaluated the potential for bacteriophage therapy to control P. mirabilis infection and prevent catheter blockage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
