Kitano H, Shigemoto N, Koba Y, et al. - In view of the observation that the clinical features of Staphylococcus aureus-related urinary tract infection (UTI) are unclear, researchers here investigated how patients with S. aureus bacteriuria develop UTI, Further, they examined the features and clinical risk factors of symptomatic S. aureus-related UTI. In this retrospective study, they assessed 286 patients in whom isolation of S. aureus was done from urine culture from January 2010 to December 2017 at the Hiroshima University Hospital. Of these, 33 patients developed UTI. Indwelling catheterization, hydronephrosis, and renal stones are noted to be significantly linked with S. aureus-related UTI and hypoalbuminemia in methicillin-resistant S. aureus-related UTI. For prevention of S. aureus-related UTI with persistent staphylococcal bacteriuria, they emphasize paying attention to risk factors, particularly indwelling catheterization, renal stones, and hydronephrosis, as an effective strategy .
