Definition of "UTI"
"Urinary tract" - Easy!
"Infection" - Ambiguous
? Presence of micro-organisms in normally sterile site? (urinary tract?)
? Local host inflammatory response? ? Evidence of harm to host? (= disease) - Implies a need to treat

> 105 cfu/mL = "Significant Bacteriuria"
Clinical vs. microbiological significance Microbiological: bacteria are truly coming from the bladder Clinical: bacteria causing dz, need treatment
> 105 cfu/mL criterion for "significance" - Microbiological
Designed for voided samples in asx patients to distinguish vaginal and urethral contamination from bacteria truly from the bladder Not informative re. clinical significance of bacteria Unsuited for symptomatic or catheter-associated UTI

Significance of Pyuria
Pyuria = > 10 WBCs/hpf in spun urine Useful in patient with symptoms, decent NPV Not useful in asymptomatic patients Degree of pyuria of no significance ("packed", "clumps", ">150 per field")
Urine dipstick detects leukocyte esterase from WBCs or nitrite from Enterobacteriaciae. Surrogate for pyuria and bacteriuria. Many variables can affect diagnostic accuracy Modestly useful if confirming a strong clinical suspicion either way (6888% sensitivity, 66% specificity) but inadequate alone to rule in or out true UTI

UTI Definitions (IDSA)
Asymptomatic Bacteriuria: > 105 cfu/mL voided specimen (? X2) or chronic foley, or > 102 cfu/mL from a new catheterized specimen
Acute uncomplicated cystitis and pyelonephritis: typical symptoms in an otherwise healthy non-pregnant adult. Dx confirmed with + UA and/or > 102 cfu/mL on UC
Complicated cystitis or pyelonephritis: lower or upper tract UTI in patient with underlying risk of treatment failure (diabetes, pregnancy, renal failure, obstruction or anatomic abnormality, indwelling device, recent instrumentation, transplant, immunosuppression, hospital-acquired)
Catheter-associated UTI: presence of symptoms or signs of UTI with no other identifiable source with > 103 cfu/mL
? 2013 Template and icons provided by The Advisory Board Company.
Bacteriology of UTIs
Be suspicious of Group B strep, lactobacillus, and Enterococcus. Tend to correlate poorly with repeat cultures or catheterized specimens. Frequent contaminants. To be "real" should be pure growth at higher #s (105)

Consider carbapenem if ESBL risk is high
Need to empirically cover for pseudomonas and consider ESBL. Definitive rx based on

Asymptomatic Bacteriuria = UTI
Common, esp. elderly women and compromised pts 20-50% of treated "UTI" is actually Asx Bacteriuria Good evidence that Rx gives no benefit and causes harm (ADEs, resistance, more UTI)

A Case of a "UTI"
Edna S. is an 85 y.o. female NH pt with dementia and urinary incontinence managed with diapers. Nursing staff noted yesterday that she had more pungent urine than usual and was acting a little more confused. They took the liberty to send a U/A and UCx via straight cath which showed 25 WBC's/HPF, many bacteria, and Cx is growing >100k gram negative rods. Nurses are calling for antibiotic orders.
Do you wait for final cx results? Do you give empiric amoxicillin? sulfa? a cephalosporin? a quinolone? nothing?

Antibiotic Use in LTCFs
Prevalence of NH residents on an antibiotic at any given time: 6 ? 10% 60-70% will receive an antibiotic over the course of a year Majority of antibiotics are given for UTIs followed by URIs Estimated that over half of antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary and/or inappropriately long duration

UTI is #1 reason for Abx in LTCFs
Problem: What constitutes symptoms in an elderly, incontinent, and demented patient with limited ability to communicate?
Near Mythical Belief that "UTIs" are the Cause of:
? Unexplained falls
? Weakness
? Delirium ? Any other non-specific
symptoms in the frail elderly, without definitive urinary symptoms
Evidence for this is of very poor quality

Recurrent UTIs in Women

1/11/2016
Recurrent UTIs
> 2 infections in 6 mos or > 3 in 1 year Most are due to re-infection rather than relapse Incidence: 27% of college women with 1st UTI experience 2nd infection within 6 mos. 2.7% will have a 3rd episode
? 2013 Template and icons provided by The Advisory Board Company.
Recurrent UTIs: Risk Factors
Genetic risk factors: P1 blood group phenotype and nonsecretors of AB or B blood group antigens are susceptible to vaginal colonization with pathogenic E coli
Behavioral risks: frequent sex, new sexual partner, use of diaphragm-spermicide
Post-menopausal women: impaired bladder emptying Urinary incontinence (OR 5.79) Cystocoele (OR 4.85) Non-secretor status (OR 2.9)
? 2013 Template and icons provided by The Advisory Board Company.
Prevention Strategies
Stop spermicides and diaphragm Increased fluids, post-coital voiding, probiotics, cranberry juice? No harm but little to no evidence for benefit Topical estrogen for post-menopausal women Antibiotics Post-coital Intermittent self-treatment Continuous

Chronic Indwelling CatheterAssociated Urinary Tract Infection
Long-Term Urinary Catheters and Infection
5-10% of LTCF residents are catheterized Essentially all are bacteriuric (CA-ASB) ? defined as > 105 cfu/mL CA-UTI defined as > 103 cfu/mL with ass'd symptoms
Associated with increased upper urinary inflammation at autopsy
Accounts for 45-55% of bacteremias in LTCFs
Incidence of febrile episodes is 1.1 per 100 catheter-days, most are low grade and resolve without abx
Symptom correlation with bacteriuria is v poor and nonspecific. Order cultures with: new CVA tenderness, high temps, rigors, or delirium

Levels of Bacteria with a Catheter in Place
Once bacteria introduced into urinary tract with a catheter in place, rapidly rises to "significant" levels ( > 105 / mL) of bacterial colonization

Long-term Urinary Catheters ? Don'ts
Don't place unless definitive indication Don't obtain a U/A or U/C with nonspecific symptoms
(esp don't obtain for "cloudy", "malodorous" urine or encrusted catheter Don't use pyuria to distinguish CA-ASB from CA-UTI (although absence of pyuria suggests not CA-UTI) Don't use methenamine salts or cranberry juice as preventative Don't use prophylactic antibiotics

Long-term Urinary Catheters ? Dos
Frequently review for necessity and remove when possible Acceptable indications: Urinary retention Not indicated for incontinence unless terminally ill or failing all other management methods Diapering > Condom Cath > Intermittent straight cath > Suprapubic catheter? > Indwelling foley catheter If suspect UTI, replace catheter, then send UA/UC
