Raoultella Ornithinolytica UTI Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, Susceptibility, Antibiotics, Abnormal

Raoultella Ornithinolytica is a type of bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). UTIs are infections that occur in the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. UTIs are more common in women than in men.

Symptoms

• Frequent urination
• Pain or burning when urinating
• Urgent need to urinate
• Blood in the urine
• Strong-smelling urine
• Pelvic pain
• Fever

Causes

Raoultella Ornithinolytica is a type of bacteria that is commonly found in the environment, such as in soil and water. It can enter the urinary tract through the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. This can happen during sexual intercourse, using a catheter, or not wiping properly after using the toilet.

Risk factors

• Being female
• Having a history of UTIs
• Having a urinary tract abnormality
• Using a catheter
• Having diabetes
• Having a weakened immune system

Treatment

Raoultella Ornithinolytica UTIs are usually treated with antibiotics. The specific antibiotic that is used will depend on the severity of the infection and the bacteria's susceptibility to different antibiotics.

Susceptibility

Raoultella Ornithinolytica is generally susceptible to a number of antibiotics, including:

• Ciprofloxacin
• Levofloxacin
• Nitrofurantoin
• Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole
• Amoxicillin/clavulanate

However, some strains of Raoultella Ornithinolytica may be resistant to these antibiotics. It is important to talk to your doctor about the best antibiotic for you.

Abnormal

Abnormal Raoultella ornithinolytica urinary tract infections (UTIs) are rare but have been documented in various case reports. This Gram-negative, non-motile bacterium is typically associated with community-acquired UTIs, particularly among vulnerable populations like the elderly, those with underlying health conditions, or immunocompromised patients.
