Atropine and other antimuscarinic drugs have been used to provide symptomatic relief in the treatment of urinary urgency caused by minor inflammatory bladder disorders (Table 8-3). However, specific antimicrobial therapy is essential in bacterial cystitis. In the human urinary bladder, M2 and M3 receptors are expressed predominantly with the M3 subtype mediating direct activation of contraction. As in intestinal smooth muscle, the M2 subtype appears to act indirectly by inhibiting relaxation by norepinephrine and epinephrine.

Moreover, the types of tumors associated wifii bacterial cystitis and calculi, as well as with other infectious inflammatory processes in the bladdm, such as schistosomiasis, frequently are squamous cell carcinomas, in contrast to the usual transitional (urothelial) ceU carcinomas that occur in the bladdm (Oyasu 1995). In rodents, the tumors associated with urinary tract solids are for the most part transitional (mothelial) cell tumors rather than squamous ceU proliferations. 

Thus, in assessing potential bladder cancer risk for humans based on studies in rodents, consideration of a threshold dose response is the foremost consideration. The differences in composition of the urine, anatomic differences, and especially exposure differences between rodents and humans must be taken into account. Furthermore, the evidence for a relationship for urinary tract calculi to an increased risk of bladder cancer is relatively weak and is complicated by the usual association of bacterial cystitis with the presence of long-standing calculi. Urinary precipitate and crystals are not relevant to human carcinogenesis, in contrast to rodents. 

Finally, it is known that HA as glycosaminoglycan and chondroitin sulphate (CS) protect the urothelium but a damage to the urothelium may increase bacterial adherence and cause infection risk. For this a meta-analysis was carried out in order to evaluate the effect of intravesical HA and HA and CS (HA-CS) combination therapy in recurrent bacterial cystitis in adult women. A systematic literature search was performed. Primary outcomes were urinary tract infection (UTI) rate per patient-year, and UTI recurrence time (days). Secondary outcomes were 3-day voids and pelvic pain and urgency/frequency (PUF) symptom scale total score [35. ... 

Cystitis is a condition where urinary tract bacterial infection is presented. Products recommended as first-line of treatment include amoxicillin, oral cephalosporin, trimethoprim or nitrofurantoin. Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibacterial agent whereas itraconazole is an antifungal agent.

It is used for pyelonephritis, cystitis, pneumonia, pleural empyema, peritonitis, sepsis, meningitis, purulent skin and soft tissue infections, infected wounds, bums, and so on, which are caused by microorganisms that are sensitive to the dmg. Gentamicin is the dmg of choice for severe bacterial infections caused by undetermined stimuli. Synonyms of this drug are garamycin, gentacylin, ribomycin, and many others. 

A vaginal vaccine has been developed for the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections. The multistrain vaccine, composed of 10 heat-killed bacterial uropathogenic strains, has been shown to be efficacious against cystitis in non-human primates when administered by the vaginal route. Bladder infections were significantly reduced and both systemic and local immune responses were generated.

Infections of the urinary tract represent a wide variety of syndromes, including urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, and pyelonephritis. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most commonly occurring bacterial infections and account for 8 rtulhon patient visits annually. Approximately one in three females wiU have had a urinary tract infection hy age 24." Infections in men occur much less frequently until the age of 65, at which point the incidence rates in men and women are similar. 

Histological examinations of rats exposed to 1.5 mg/kg/day for 1-2 years in the feed revealed inflammation and pus in the prostate (Army 1983a). The observed toxicity in RDX treated rats may have been due to bacterial infection of the urinary tract, possibly secondary to a diminished ability of the prostate to respond to normal bacterial flora. This is plausible because bladder distention and cystitis were also noted. The pathology reports of this study state that a no-effect level from RDX... 

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that interferes with microbial DNA synthesis. It is indicated in the treatment of infections of the lower respiratory tract, skin and skin structure, bones and joints, urinary tract gonorrhea, chancroid, and infectious diarrhea caused by susceptible strains of specific organisms typhoid fever uncomplicated cervical and urethral gonorrhea women with acute uncomplicated cystitis acute sinusitis nosocomial pneumonia chronic bacterial prostatitis complicated intra-abdominal infections reduction of incidence or progression of inhalational anthrax following exposure to aerosolized Bacillus anthracis. Cipro IV Used for empirical therapy for febrile neutropenic patients. 

Fosfomycin is antiinfective/antiseptic in natnre. It interferes with bacterial cell-wall biosynthesis. It is indicated in the treatment of nncomplicated UTI (acute cystitis) in women cansed by snsceptible strains of specihc microorganisms. 

Lomefloxacin, a fluoroquinolone broad-spectrum antibiotic (400 mg p.o. daily for 10 to 14 days), is used in acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis caused by Haemophilis influenzae or Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis in uncomphcated urinary tract infections (cystitis) caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, or Staphylococcus saprophyticus, in complicated urinary tract infections caused by E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and it is possibly effective against infections caused by Citrobacter diversus or Enterobacter cloacae and for the prophylaxis of infections after transurethral surgical procedures (see also Figure 85). 

Loracarbef, a synthetic beta lactam antibiotic of the car-bacephem class (200 to 400 mg p.o. q. 12 hours), is used in the treatment of secondary bacterial infections of acute bronchitis, acute bacterial exacerbations or chronic bronchitis, of pneumonia, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, acute otitis media, uncomplicated skin and skin-structure infections, impetigo, uncomplicated cystitis, and in uncomplicated pyelonephritis. 

Ofloxacin interferes with microbial DNA synthesis. It is indicated in the treatment of acnte bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, commnnity acquired pneumonia, uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, acute uncomplicated urethral and cervical gonorrhea, nongonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, uncomplicated cystitis, complicated urinary tract infections (UTI), and prostatitis cdiV eAhy Escherichia coli. Ophthalmic use for treatment of conjunctivitis and corneal ulcer infections caused by susceptible organisms otic use for treatment of otitis externa, chronic suppurative otitis media in patients with perforated tympanic membranes, and acute otitis media in pediatric patients with tympanostomy tubes. 

Infection of the genitourinary tract, an important target in ruminant animals, also may lead to signs and symptoms of disease in man.39,40 Pyelonephritis and cystitis and, in males, epididymoorchitis, may occur. Both diseases may mimic their tuberculous counterparts, with sterile pyuria on routine bacteriologic culture. With bladder and kidney infection, Brucella organisms can be cultured from the urine. Brucellosis in pregnancy can lead to placental and fetal infection.41 Whether abortion is more common in brucellosis than in other severe bacterial infections, however, is unknown. 

UTls are one of the most common bacterial infections in humans. Most of these infections follow instrumentation of the urinary tract, mainly urinary catheterization see Fig. 3), with the development of catheter-associated bacteriuria directly related to the duration of catheterization (18). BPI easily allows spatial information to be monitored sequentially throughout the entire disease process, from cystitis to ascending UTIs see Fig. 4 and Color Plate 8, following p. 46), as well as treatment efficacy and relapse in diseased or asymptomatic animals all without exogenous sampling (10). 

Traditional use A decoction of the herb is used in Chinese medicine to alleviate pain and swelling, as an anti-inflammatory and diuretic, and for gonorrhea, kidney and liver diseases, bacterial dysentery, syphilitic arthritis, and palsies of infectious origin. In Central Asia this herb is used as a choleretic, an antipyretic for fevers associated with hepatitis, nephritis, and cystitis, and as a treatment for intestinal ulcers and bloody diarrhea. The plant is also used to treat intestinal infections (Khalmatov 1964 Chen et al. 2003).
