[Incidence and antibiotic-sensitivity of gram-negative bacteria in the urinary infections (author's transl)].

Urinary tract infections due to low-grade pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria show an increasing prevalence. The frequency of isolation from urinary samples of some of these pathogens (Alcaligenes, Citrobacter, Acinetobacter, Providencia, Serratia) was detected in a group of adult patients. The role of local and systemic predisposing factors was investigated. These bacterial agents accounted for 21% of 1,354 isolated strains. Systemic predisposing factors were found in most patients. Moreover, a high proportion of the isolates was found in the urinary samples of patients receiving prolonged antibacterial therapy. Sensitivity to several antibacterial drugs was examined for each strain. A high degree of drug resistance was commonly found.

[Results of the use of a new aminoglycoside antibiotic, sisomicin, in gram negative bacterial respiratory infections].

Clinical efficacy of a new aminoglycoside antibiotic, sisomicin, was evaluated in 14 patients with acute chest infections (12 cases with pneumonia and 2 with bronchitis). They were selected taking into account the isolation of sisomicin-sensitive Gram-negative bacilli in a sputum specimen collected prior to therapy. Local predisposing factors were present in 4 patients whereas general predisposing factors were present in 4 patients whereas general predisposing factors were recognizable in 9. Klebsiella was isolated in 5 cases, E. coli in 5 cases, Proteus in 4 cases, P. aeruginosa in 2 cases, Ct-trobacter and Providencia each in one. In all patients the bacteriological finding was negative after the cycle of therapy; clinical outcome was uniformly favourable (11 patients healed, 3 got better). No significant adverse effects due to the antibiotic was noted.

[Behaviour of urinary excretion of lysozyme in renal diseases and in urinary tract infections (author's transl)].

Urinary excretion of lysozyme was investigated in a group of 66 patients with various renal diseases, nephrolitiasis and urinary tract infections. The results obtained demonstrate that the amount of the enzyme excreted is related to the entity of tubular damage whereas is not with glomerular damage. No correlation was found between lysozyme excretion neither to the degree of proteinuria neither to the amount of leukocytes and bacteria in the urine. In patients with urinary infections urinary lysozyme increases only when there is a tubular injury of some entity. In 90 pediatric patients with urinary infection and pyelonephritis lysozyme in the urine was found only in two cases. Therefore urinary lysozyme determination cannot be considered for the detection of early tubular injury and is not a helpful diagnostic tool in urinary tract infections.
