Edward G. Dudley, Ph.D. is the Director of the E. coli Reference Center and a Professor of Food Science at the Pennsylvania State University. He has a broad background in molecular biology, physiology, and foodborne bacteria genomics, with expertise in both beneficial and pathogenic species. His current research program focuses on factors that drive the virulence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and the development of DNA sequence-based methods for tracking pathogen spread during foodborne illness outbreaks, including wastewater monitoring. Dr. Dudley is a past Chair of the Food Microbiology Division of the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), the Food Microbiology Representative to ASM's Council of Microbial Sciences, and a previous member of ASM's Microbe Program Committee. In 2019, he was appointed an ASM Distinguished Lecturer and Co-Editor of the Evolution and Genomics domain for ASM's online journal, EcoSal Plus. He was also elected to the American Academy of Microbiology in 2023. Dr. Dudley holds a Ph.D. in Bacteriology and an M.S. degree in Food Science, both from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak with Dr. Dudley [35:17] about: A study conducted by Dr. Dudley's lab that investigated the usefulness of wastewater monitoring for surveillance of foodborne Salmonella illnesses How whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to link Salmonella isolates from wastewater systems in central Pennsylvania to an existing salmonellosis outbreak The significance of discovering the rare S. Baildon serotype in the wastewater samples How wastewater monitoring activities could fill gaps created when foodborne illnesses go underreported by infected people, as well as the potential limitations of wastewater monitoring for foodborne illness surveillance Other foodborne pathogens besides Salmonella that could be surveilled via wastewater monitoring Apart from the Salmonella wastewater monitoring study, various research projects carried out by Dr. Dudley's lab related to E. coli. Before we speak to Dr. Dudley, we also hear from Patrick Schneider [25:37], Vice President of Operations and Engineering (Chlorine Dioxide) at CDG Environmental LLC. In his interview, he discusses the usefulness of chlorine dioxide for food plant sanitation, and what makes CDG Solution 3000TM the “gold standard in chlorine dioxide solutions.” Prior to joining CDG Environmental, Mr. Schneider spent 35 years holding various global roles in the oil and gas industry. He holds a B.S. degree in Petroleum Engineering from Penn State University.

Mercoledì 19 febbraio, insieme a Liliana Russo e Katia De Rossi, protagoniste del programma Donne al Volante, il direttore del mensile Il Salvagente Riccardo Quintili, ci ha parlato dei casi del formaggio a latte crudo contaminato con un batterio molto pericoloso. «Ci sono stati diversi casi di cronaca e dei decessi. Il batterio responsabile è Escherichia coli STEC che può rimanere nel latte crudo, anche perché probabilmente c'è un difetto di controlli, che dovrebbero partire dalla stalla. Per questo motivo bisognerebbe evitare di dare formaggi a latte crudo ai bambini. Esiste anche una proposta di legge bipartisan che dovrebbe obbligare i produttori di formaggio a latte crudo a mettere in etichetta l'indicazione "non adatto ai bambini sotto una certa età". Noi abbiamo deciso di pubblicare un elenco dei principali formaggi a latte crudo, che sono tantissimi», ha spiegato Quintili.

Klajā nākusi grāmata "Turbulence kā virzītājspēks: Latvijas cilvēki un tautsaimniecība 150 gados". Tajā vēsturnieks Gatis Krūmiņš kopā ar kolēģiem šķetinājis gan valsts tautsaimniecības attīstību, gan to, kā dažādas turbulences un krīzes ietekmējušas Latvijas ekonomiku un sabiedrību, iedzīvotāju skaitu un dinamiku un galu galā ļauj palūkoties dziļāk aiz viena otra mīta, ko aizvien dzirdam skandinām. Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā analizē vēsturnieks, Vidzemes Augstskolas padomes loceklis un vadošais pētnieks Gatis Krūmiņš, demogrāfs un Vidzemes Augstskolas pētnieks Ilmārs Mežs un Latvijas Nacionālā arhīva vadošais pētnieks, Vidzemes Augstskolas pētnieks Jānis Šiliņš. Zinātnes ziņās par ugunsgrēku dūmiem, baktērijām un mazliet arī par politiku no zinātnes skatpunkta. Hroniska sevis pakļaušana ilgstošiem, biežākiem meža ugunsgrēkiem var nopietni ietekmēt veselību — no plaušām līdz nierēm, aknām, smadzenēm un sirdij. Daudz ko mēs nezinām par baktērijām, bet daudz jautājumu ir arī par to, kā ugunsgrēki un to izraisītie dūmi ietekmē cilvēka organismu. Šobrīd, kad joprojām plosās milzīgi un postoši ugunsgrēki Losandželosā, ASV, jautājums par ugunsgrēku sekām tiek skatīts no vairākām pusēm, un tas tad darīts arī “Nacionālās ģeogrāfijas” tīmekļa vietnē. Lielākā daļa baktēriju zinātniskajās publikācijās ignorētas. Skaidrs, ka mikroorganismi mums ir visapkārt, un arī baktēriju sugu skaits ir iespaidīgs, bet izrādās, ka zinātniskajās publikācijās ir aprakstīta tikai neliela daļa no tām. Līdz ar to mūsu priekšstats par baktērijām kopumā balstās tikai tajā, kas vairāk ir aprakstīts. Vietnē “Nature” pieminētas tās sugas, kas visvairāk figurē zinātniskajās publikācijās. Pirmo vietu ieņem baktērija Escherichia coli, ko ikdienā mēs vienkārši saucam par zarnu nūjiņu - absolūts līderis publikāciju skaita ziņā. Kāpēc Grenlande interesē Trampu? Klimata pārmaiņas ir tikai daļa no stāsta. “Scientific American” savukārt atrodams izklāsts tam, kāpēc Grenlande tik ļoti interesē jaunievēlēto ASV prezidentu Donaldu Trampu. Atgādinām, ka pavisam nesen izskanēja paziņojums, ka Tramps vēlētos pārņemt aizvien jaunas teritorijas, padarīt tās par ASV daļu un arī vienā no sociālajiem medijiem rakstot, ka no Grenlandes “cilvēki gūs milzīgu labumu, ja un kad tā kļūs par mūsu tautas daļu”. Jāsaka - vēsturē šis nav pirmais gadījums, kad ASV interesē Grenlande, arī Aukstā kara laikā Grenlande kļuva par svarīgu stratēģisko punktu kopējā ASV aizsardzības vīzijā. No zinātnes viedokļa raugoties, var samanīt mājienus, kāpēc Tramps tagad varētu vēlēties Grenlandi. Rakstā paskaidroti divi no tiem.

Contributor: Alec Coston MD Educational Pearls: Causes of seizures in a fairly well-appearing child with diarrhea: Electrolyte abnormalities: hypocalcemia, hyponatremia Also hyperkalemia which causes arrhythmias and syncope - can appear like seizures Hypoglycemia If the child has diarrhea and appears very sick, differential diagnosis may include: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS): simultaneous occurrence of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury Typically caused by Shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli (also known as EHEC, or enterohemorragic E. coli) One of the main causes of acute kidney injury in children Toxic ingestions such as salicylates, lead, or iron In this case, the child had a seizure but appeared well and was afebrile: Consult with neurology led to a diagnosis of benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) First identified in 1982 in Japan Viral gastroenteritis with diarrhea and convulsions but does not include fever, severe dehydration, or electrolyte abnormalities Uncommon illness caused by rotavirus and norovirus pathogens Criteria for discharge is similar to a febrile seizure - the patient had one seizure that lasted less than 15 minutes and he quickly returned to his baseline, so he was able to be safely discharged home This diagnosis does not predispose him to epilepsy later in life References Lee YS, Lee GH, Kwon YS.

Imaginez pouvoir utiliser l'ADN, le support fondamental de l'information génétique de tous les êtres vivants, pour stocker des données numériques. C'est exactement ce que des scientifiques ont réalisé, et c'est fascinant ! Le 12 juillet 2017, une étude publiée dans Nature a révélé que des chercheurs ont réussi à encoder et stocker un GIF — une série d'images animées — dans l'ADN de Escherichia coli, une bactérie intestinale commune. D'abord, rappelons que l'ADN est un polymère constitué de quatre bases azotées : adénine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) et guanine (G). Ces quatre "lettres" forment un code très dense qui peut contenir des quantités massives d'informations. Si l'on pense à l'ADN comme à un langage, les chercheurs ont trouvé un moyen de convertir des données numériques, comme les pixels d'une image ou les images d'un GIF, en ce langage biologique. Pour ce faire, ils ont utilisé la technologie CRISPR-Cas9, connue pour ses capacités d'édition génomique de haute précision. CRISPR agit comme des "ciseaux moléculaires" capables d'insérer des séquences d'ADN de manière spécifique dans le génome d'une cellule. Dans cette expérience, les scientifiques ont traduit chaque pixel du GIF en une séquence de bases A, T, C, et G, qu'ils ont ensuite insérée dans l'ADN de la bactérie. CRISPR a permis d'encoder ces données image par image, de manière séquentielle, dans le génome des cellules de E. coli. Le GIF choisi pour cette expérience était un extrait historique d'une série d'images d'un cheval au galop, créé par Eadweard Muybridge, une référence aux débuts du cinéma. Une fois le GIF encodé dans l'ADN des bactéries, celles-ci se sont reproduites, transmettant ces informations génétiques à leurs descendants. Pour vérifier si le stockage avait fonctionné, les chercheurs ont séquencé l'ADN des bactéries, récupéré les données, et reconstitué l'image animée. Résultat : le GIF a pu être reconstitué, montrant que l'ADN avait fidèlement stocké et protégé ces données. Ce travail est révolutionnaire parce qu'il démontre le potentiel de l'ADN comme support de stockage de données extrêmement dense et stable. Un gramme d'ADN peut théoriquement contenir 215 millions de gigaoctets d'information ! L'ADN ne se dégrade que très lentement dans des conditions favorables, ce qui en fait un moyen prometteur pour l'archivage de données à long terme. Ce type de recherche ouvre des perspectives passionnantes pour l'avenir, où la biologie pourrait s'entremêler avec la technologie de l'information de manière encore plus impressionnante.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Dr. Tim Harris about his book, In Pursuit of Unicorns: A Journey Through 50 Years of Biotechnology. Modern biotechnology―genetic engineering and cell manipulation―originated with the 1973 demonstration that genes from different organisms could be recombined and propagated in Escherichia coli.

Carla Días, presidenta de la Sociedad Venezolana de Gastroenterología, indicó que en los viajes, las personas hacen transgresiones dietéticas, presentando malestares intestinales, ya que suelen comer más de lo habitual, especialmente platos típicos de la región que están fuera de lo que comen regularmente. Explicó que tras estos consumos, los viajeros pueden experimentar sensación de llenura o distensión, además de flatulencias. «Si se hacen comidas muy abundantes, el paciente puede hacer reflujo o ardor en el tórax. También, pueden experimentar la diarrea del viajero por el consumo de alimentos crudos o no cocinados debidamente, además de consumo de aguas contaminadas» añadió. Días indicó que entre algunas de las bacterias que se pueden encontrar en estos alimentos mal lavados, y que pueden causar la diarrea del viajero, está la Escherichia coli que puede dar retortijones, dolor abdominal, cólicos, aumenta la frecuencia de las evacuaciones haciéndolas líquidas y acompañadas de moco y sangre. También destacó que la diarrea del viajero se puede dar a las 48 o 72 horas del viaje. “Las intoxicaciones alimentarias son abruptas, la persona no se ha terminado el plato, comúnmente de mariscos, y ya siente náuseas, vómitos, dolor abdominal y sudoración” acotó. La gastroenteróloga señaló que parte de la prevención está en consumir aguas debidamente potabilizadas, cuidar el consumo de alimentos crudos y en restaurantes que son de alto recambio. Añadió que si alguno de los viajeros tiene susceptibilidad intestinal, es importante que haga prevención con un protector gástrico, pero porque se sabe que hay una enfermedad diagnosticada y estudiada por un especialista. «Si el paciente tiene diarreas, cada vez que evacúe, debe hidratarse con suero oral, también debe consumir probióticos. Si son diarreas virales, estas se auto limitan en 48 o 72 hrs» dijo. Recomendó a quienes viajan llevar antibióticos, ya que es muy difícil obtenerlo en el extranjero, protectores gástricos, antiparasitarios y analgésicos.
In this episode, we dive into the incredible role of T4D-Myoviridae bacteriophages in targeting Escherichia coli strains, highlighting their unique contractile tail structures that facilitate precise DNA injection into host cells. We explore the specific interactions between phage tail fibers and bacterial lipopolysaccharide receptors, illustrating the phage's lock-and-key mechanism crucial for selective bacterial lysis. This discussion extends into the implications for combatting SIBO and enhancing gut microbiota balance while exploring the impressive scientific literature on phage-mediated modulation of gut flora and inflammatory markers. Topics: 1. Introduction to Bacteriophages - Explanation of what a bacteriophage (phage) is. - Importance of phages in research and their role in intestinal dysbiosis. 2. Bacteriophage Foundation - Description of bacteriophage structure: - Capsid and its genetic material (DNA or RNA). - Icosahedral head and its efficiency. - Types of phage tails and their functions: - Contractile tails: mechanism similar to a syringe. - Non-contractile tails: static structure for attachment. 3. Phage-Bacteria Interaction - Initial attachment to bacterial cell via tail fibers. - Specificity of attachment (lock and key mechanism). - Injection of genetic material into the bacterial cell. - Use of bacterial machinery to replicate phage components. 4. Phage Replication Cycle - Overview of the phage replication process within the host cell: - Integration and takeover of host cellular machinery. - Assembly of new phage particles. - Release of phages through lysis of the host cell. 5. Application - Potential of phages to selectively target and kill bacteria. - Benefits over broad-spectrum targeting. - Discussion of antibiotic resistance. 6. Diving into the Gut Microbiome - Connection between phages and the gut microbiome. - Discussion of specific phages like T4D-Myoviridae and their targets. - Relevance to SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). 7. Case Studies and Research - Review of studies on phage impact on gut microbiota and inflammation. - Specific changes in microbiota observed in research (e.g., increase in butyrate-producing genera).

Researchers at the University of Galway have developed a new, portable technology for on-the-spot testing of water quality to detect one of the most dangerous types of bacteria. Ireland regularly reports the highest crude incidence rates of the pathogen Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli - STEC for short - in Europe over the recent years. The bacteria produces the harmful Shiga toxin, which, if ingested by humans, can cause severe stomach illnesses and, in some cases, life-threatening complications, especially in children under 5 years, older people and immunocompromised individuals. A work led by Dr Zina Alfahl, lecturer in bacteriology in the University's College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, and Dr Louise O'Connor, senior research fellow with the University's College of Science and Engineering, developed a technology for rapid, sensitive and accurate testing of STEC in water sources, including rivers, lakes and wells. The results have been published in the journal Microbiology. Dr Alfahl said: "Our technology is a significant advancement in on-site water testing. It is portable, straightforward and safe to use. It is accurate, highly sensitive and the results are delivered quickly, on-site. "We are hoping that Environmental Health Officers and groundwater schemes in Ireland could use the technology on-site, allowing for more frequent testing, especially in or after extreme weather, periods of intense rainfall, because it is those conditions which lead to water supplies being contaminated." Dr O'Connor said: "This technology could be a crucial intervention in helping to prevent outbreaks of infection in families and communities using wells, private water supplies and groundwater schemes. "Immediate results can help public health officers and water management authorities make informed decisions to protect public health. This rapid response capability is crucial for preventing the spread of waterborne diseases and ensuring the safety of drinking water." STEC is normally found in the intestines of healthy animals like cows and sheep, which carry it without getting sick. The bacteria spread to people through contact with animal waste or by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. A small sample of water can be tested on-site using isothermal amplification technology which can identify the genetic markers of STEC bacteria, and related E. coli. The results are delivered in about 40minutes through a reading on screen. Traditional lab testing of samples can take days for results to be returned. The research, funded by Environment Protection Agency through the DERIVE project, tested samples from various water sources, including groundwater wells, rivers, a turlough and a farm drain on the Corrib catchment in Galway. Of the samples tested 61% were positive for the presence of this dangerous pathogen. Dr Alfahl said: "Our testing is sensitive enough to identify as low as two cells of the STEC bacteria. The gold standard for testing is culture in a lab, but this can take days and often weeks, and on occasion can return a false negative result - just because the culture does not grow in the lab does not always mean the bacteria has not been present in the water. Our test removes the necessity for samples to go to a lab. It offers on-the-spot results and is of huge benefit to the people using the water as a first step in identifying a contamination and a potential health risk." Dr O'Connor said: "This new testing method is particularly important for areas that rely on private groundwater wells, which can be more prone to contamination. In Ireland, a significant portion of the population depends on these for their drinking water - about 720,000 people, or one in every 5 households, but quality has been an issue as regulation is less stringent on these sources and testing is less frequent."

The ‘I' (intermediate susceptibility) in a EUCAST-guided antibiogram never meant impending resistance to your antibiotic. It was never meant to make you find the one ‘S' (invariably a carbapenem) and use it instead—even if many clinicians did. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Marc Bonten and Angela Huttner welcome Profs. Christian Giske (outgoing chair) and Sören Gatermann (newly elected chair) of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) to discuss its recent updates, including the new ‘susceptible dose dependent' (SDD) label, and to shed light on common misconceptions around the way it sets breakpoints. Breakpoints for Pseudomonas aeruginosa are discussed, as are intravenous fosfomycin's ‘disappearance' from the breakpoints table and EUCAST's new guidance on it.

The penultimate episode of the DNA Papers podcast series revisits a paper that demonstrated the semiconservative mode of DNA replication, which had been predicted by complementary base-paired double helix model of the molecule discussed in episode 13 of this series: Meselson, Matthew, and Franklin W. Stahl. “The replication of DNA in Escherichia coli.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 44, no. 7 (July 15, 1958): 671–82. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.44.7.671 The papers offers the details an experiment designed and performed by a pair of young molecular biologists, Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl at Caltech. They deployed the newly developed technique of density gradient centrifugation in combination with the use of heavy isotopes of nitrogen to show that during the replication of a DNA molecule, each progeny helix contained one strand that was conserved, or passed down directly from the parent and one new strand synthesized from the conserved template. Listen to our expert guests from different disciplines as they share their insights into what has been described as “the most beautiful experiment in biology”: Allan Franklin University of Colorado Boulder Michel Morange IHPST, Université Paris I William C.

It may involve any part of the renal system, the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder, the prostate, and the urethra. Different from men, a woman may get a UTI more easily due to their anatomical difference. A woman's urethra is shorter and lies close in proximity to both the vagina and the anus, which allows easy access for bacteria to travel up to the bladder.UTI is further subdivided into two different categories, depending on where the infection takes place within the urinary tract:Lower Tract Infection – cystitis and urethritis when the infection occurs on the bladder and the urethra, respectively. Common infections are a result of bacteria migrating from the skin (and also from sexual organs) to the urethra and ending up in the bladder.In males, other forms of lower tract infection can result in prostatitis, epididymitis, and orchitis.Upper Tract Infection - aka pyelonephritis, is a more concerning infection that involves the upper parts of the urinary system, in other words, the ureters, and kidneys.AGE DIFFERENCES IN UTI FOR MEN:For men, the incidence of UTI increases with age. Dr. John Brusch reports UTI rarely develops in young males and the prevalence of bacteriuria is 0.1% or less. Men who are 15-50 years of age often have urethritis due to sexually transmitted infection (STI), mainly by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Symptoms include frequency, urgency, and dysuria (most common).Men who are 50 years or older, especially those with prostatic hyperplasia, will have signs and symptoms of incomplete bladder emptying, hesitancy, slow stream, difficulty initiating urination, and dribbling after urinating. Due to the enlargement of the prostate gland, there will be partial blockage of urine flow from the bladder, which in turn, creates a reservoir where bacteria can grow and cause an infection. The most common offending microorganism for this age group is Escherichia coli.Interestingly, while UTIs are rare among men under 60, by the age of 80, both women and men have similar incidence rates. The bladder tends to have a higher residual volume in older males because the prostate grows no matter what, it´s just a part of aging for males. Some may end up with more or less lower urinary tract symptoms, but the prostate is enlarged in general.Other risk factors for UTI in males are men who are not circumcised, urethral strictures, fistulas, hydronephrosis (or dilated ureters overfilled with urine due to failure of drainage to the bladder), and the use of urinary catheters. DIFFERENT TYPES OF UTIs IN MALES:EPIDIDYMITIS:The infection starts from the retrograde ascending route from the prostatic urethra, backing up to the vas deferens, and eventually ending in the epididymis.In men who are younger than 35 years of age, the usual pathogens are C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae (sexually transmitted).In men who are older than 35 years of age, the usual offending agents are Enterobacteriaceae and gram-positive cocci (E. coli as mentioned previously).ORCHITIS:This unique UTI is caused by viral pathogens, such as mumps, coxsackie B, Epstein-Barr (EBV), and varicella (VZV) viruses. Several studies have shown that patients having orchitis have a history of epididymitis. Fortunately, this infection is uncommon, and it was the main reason to develop the MMR vaccine. It is caused by viruses other than mumps, so you can still have orchitis even if you are vaccinated. Antibiotics are not prescribed for viral orchitis.BACTERIAL CYSTITIS:Having a similar pathophysiology of ascending infection mechanism, male patients in this category often present frequency, urgency, dysuria, nocturia, and suprapubic pain. On a side note, having hematuria is concerning, especially without symptoms, because it's automatically a red flag that should prompt an immediate evaluation in search of other causes besides infection, such as underlying malignancy. Possible etiologies are calculi, glomerulonephritis, and even schistosomiasis infection that can ultimately result in squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder. Arreaza: Let me share a little anecdote about hematuria. One Sunday when I was a resident I woke up with hematuria. Of course, I immediately went to urgent care, knowing hematuria means trouble in men. I had a urine dipstick test, which was normal. The first thing the nurse practitioner asked me was, “Did you eat any beets?”, and I never eat beets, but that day I had a full bag of beet chips. So, yes, that was the cause of my pseudo-hematuria. Lesson learned: Always ask about beets when you have a patient with painless hematuria with a normal dipstick. PROSTATITIS:This is an infection of the prostate gland. The most common offending agent is E. coli. Acute prostatitis will present with signs of “acute” infection, such as fever, chills, and suprapubic pain. On rectal exam, we will find a prostate that is warm, swollen, boggy, and very tender. Make sure you perform a gentle prostate exam as you may spread bacteria to the blood and cause bacteremia and potentially sepsis. Patients are normally very sick and it is not your typical cystitis, but it is more severe. Chronic Prostatitis can arise from different causes, ranging from retrograde ascending infection, “chronic” exposure to urinary pathogens, and even autoimmune etiologies. The majority of patients often are asymptomatic. URETHRITIS:This infection is further classified into two groups, gonococcal and non-gonococcal. For gonococcal urethritis, N. gonorrhoeae is the most common pathogen. Agents of non-gonococcal urethritis include C. trachomatis, Ureaplasma, trichomonas, and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). Patients often present symptoms of dysuria, pruritus, and purulent penile discharge.PYELONEPHRITIS:Following a retrograde ascending mechanism, an infection may travel from the bladder and make its way to the kidney, causing damage and inflammation to the renal parenchyma. According to Dr. John Brusch, E. coli is responsible for approximately 25% of cases in males. Pyelonephritis presents with chills, fever, nausea/vomiting, flank pain/costovertebral angle tenderness, and dysuria. Other findings include pyuria and bacteriuria. Pyelonephritis is a common cause of sepsis. Diagnosis of UTIs.URINE STUDIES: Urine culture remains the gold standard for diagnosis of UTI. Other studies include suprapubic aspiration, catheterization, midstream clean catch, and Gram stain. Imaging studies are not always needed, but you may order plain films, ultrasonography, CT scans, and MRIs. It will depend on the severity of your case and your clinical judgment.UTIs in women: In males, we should perform urine culture and susceptibility studies. However, in women, urine studies are not needed all the time, they should be reserved for women with recurrent infection, treatment failure, history of resistant isolates, or atypical presentation. This is done to confirm the diagnosis and guide antibiotic selection.Interestingly, in a recent evidence review, published in the American Family Physician journal, women can self-diagnose their uncomplicated cystitis. All that is needed is having typical symptoms (frequency, urgency, dysuria/burning sensation, nocturia, suprapubic pain), without vaginal discharge. If you have those elements, you have enough information to diagnose, or even the patient can self-diagnose, an uncomplicated UTI without further testing, but in males, you should ALWAYS perform urine studies.TREATMENTS:Men with UTI should ALWAYS receive antibiotics, with urine culture and susceptibility results guiding the antibiotic choice. Laboratory results will help us determine the best treatment plan. UTIs are often treated with a variety of antibiotics. Dr. Robert Shmerling, of Harvard Medical School, states that most uncomplicated lower tract infections can be eradicated with a week of treatment with antibiotics. Common antibiotics for UTI are fluoroquinolones, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ), minocycline, or nitrofurantoin.On another hand, if it's an upper tract infection or prostatitis, the course of treatment can be extended for longer periods. For those patients who are hemodynamically unstable or have severe upper UTI, hospital admission is required to monitor for complications and IV antibiotics.UTIs in males are less frequent than UTIs in females, except when patients are 80 years and older when the incidence is similar in both sexes. UTIs in males must prompt further evaluation because if left untreated, they can have detrimental effects on your patients' health. As a take-home point, UTI in males is less common than in females, and it requires urine studies or other studies to identify the etiology and guide treatment. Antibiotics are always used, and you may guide your treatment depending on the results. Imaging is not always needed, but use your clinical judgment to make a more specific diagnosis and detect complications promptly. __________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 168, “UTI is Males.” Future Dr. Tran described the different anatomical areas that can be infected in males with UTI. She reminded us that UTIs in males always need to be treated with antibiotics and urine cultures are done to guide treatment. Dr. Arreaza mentioned a few differences in the diagnosis and treatment of UTIs in females. For example, women can self-diagnose an uncomplicated cystitis, and urine studies or antibiotics are not always needed in women. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Di Tran.

C dans l'air du 4 avril 2024 - Polluants éternels : le nouveau scandale sanitaire ? C'est le nouveau scandale sanitaire qui inquiète. À Rumilly (Haute-Savoie), qui compte une usine Tefal, du PFOA, "un polluant éternel", a été découvert en février 2023 dans le réseau d'eau potable de la ville. Après des tests sanguins, des habitants de la commune ont découvert avec horreur qu'ils avaient des taux de PFOA cinq fois supérieurs à la moyenne française (2,08 µg/L). La molécule est pourtant interdite depuis 2020 en raison de son potentiel cancérogène. Ces substances per- et polyfluoroalkylées, dont certaines sont toxiques, sont notamment consommées ou rejetées lors du processus de revêtement antiadhésif des poêles Tefal. Face à la pression médiatique, SEB (propriétaire de Tefal) assure que le seul PFAS qu'elle utilise est le PFTE, "une substance reconnue depuis plus de 50 ans pour son innocuité". Ce qui n'est pas de l'avis de tous. Le député écologiste Nicolas Thierry a déposé une proposition de loi visant à "interdire à partir de 2025 la fabrication, l'importation, l'exportation et la mise sur le marché de tous les produits contenant des PFAS". Étudié dès aujourd'hui à l'Assemblée nationale, le texte a été accueilli par plusieurs centaines de salariés de SEB envoyés par la direction pour protester. Selon la direction du groupe, la proposition de loi menacerait près de 3 000 emplois en France, dont 1 500 emplois pour la seule ville de Rumilly. La direction de SEB a encore le temps de réagir. D'autres, comme Buitoni, n'en ont pas eu l'occasion. Le 30 mars dernier, Nestlé a décidé de fermer son usine de production de pizzas à Caudry (Nord) mise en cause dans le décès de deux enfants et l'intoxication de dizaines d'autres, par la bactérie Escherichia coli. À l'époque, l'affaire avait fait grand bruit. Une information judiciaire est ouverte depuis mai 2022 à Paris pour homicide involontaire. Avant elle, l'entreprise Ferrero (qui produit les chocolats Kinder) s'était retrouvée au cœur d'un scandale similaire après avoir intoxiqué des centaines d'enfants à travers l'Europe. Conscientes des risques, les grandes entreprises se forment à la communication de crise pour répondre à ce genre de situation. "En matière de gestion de crise, le pire est de ne rien dire", expliquait à La Croix Géraldine Michel, responsable de la chaire marques et valeurs à la Sorbonne. Lors de la révélation du scandale Kinder en avril dernier, il avait par exemple fallu attendre quatre jours pour que Ferrero reconnaisse dans un communiqué "des défaillances internes". Un réaction bien trop tardive pour espérer calmer la colère des familles touchées. En la matière, la direction de Nestlé Waters (San Pellegrino, Vittel, Perrier…) est actuellement acculée. Le groupe est accusé depuis plusieurs jours d'avoir voulu cacher la contamination généralisée de ses sources d'eau minérale. Le 4 avril, Le Monde et France info ont révélé le contenu d'une expertise menée par l'Agence de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation (Anses) sur les eaux du groupe. Le rapport, remis au gouvernement en février, conclut à une contamination généralisée aux bactéries, pesticides, PFAS, des sources d'eau minérale naturelle exploitées par le groupe Nestlé. Non seulement, le gouvernement n'a rien communiqué aux Français, mais il n'a rien transmis non plus aux autorités européennes "ce qui est quand même assez fou, parce que toutes ces eaux dont on parle aujourd'hui de grande marque, sont aussi vendues et consommées dans d'autres pays européens", répond à France info l'association Foodwatch, qui a porté plainte pour "tromperies" contre Nestlé. Un comité de la Commission européenne est d'ailleurs prévu le 30 avril pour faire la lumière sur cette affaire. Quelle est la dangerosité des fameux PFAS ? Pourquoi le gouvernement français veut-il les interdire ? Comment les grands groupes réagissent-ils aux crises qu'ils provoquent ? Et quelle est l'ampleur du scandale de l'eau qui plane au-dessus de Nestlé ?
