Although urine is a waste
product, it is a sterile, free of toxic chemicals and microbes. The main
ingredient is water with urea, hormones, enzymes, salts and other trace
elements followed. Proponents of urine therapy, it has healing, antiseptic and
antibiotic. However, bacterial infections of the urinary tract (somewhere in
the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra) and the skin outside the urethra,
leading to contamination of urine with bacteria. Presence of bacteria using the
test urine culture.
Urinalysis and urine culture
done to identify species of bacteria, yeasts and other microbes in a urine
sample. In this method, a drop of the urine sample (collected in sterile
bottle) is loaded onto an agar plate. It is then incubated under controlled
conditions in order to present the growth of microbes. If bacteria are present,
they form colonies in agar culture medium in 1 to 2 days. While color, shape
and size of colonies for the identification of bacteria are used, the actual
number of colonies represented the amount of bacteria in the urine sample.
Different types of bacteria
found in urine
In urinalysis, interpretation,
as a rule is a type of bacterium that lives primarily. But there are also cases
where two or more bacterial colonies present in the agar plate. Such a test
result indicates infection by more than one pathogen. Turning to the causes of
bacteria in the urine for asymptomatic bacteriuria and urinary tract infection
(UTI) assigned. During pregnancy, the presence of bacteria in urine is not an
unusual problem. Presented below are some of the most common types of bacteria
in urine.
Escherichia coli
In the human body, E. coli is
in the lower part of the digestive tract found. These gram-negative bacterium
is excreted in feces during defecation. Most likely, E. coli from the feces or
rectum into the urethra and travel up the urinary tract. Under favorable
conditions, it divides rapidly, causing a urinary tract infection. The kidney
infection (pyelonephritis), bladder (cystitis) and infection urethra
(urethritis) Any part of the urinary tract can be infected by this bacterium.
Enterococcus faecalis
Next E. coli, one of the most
common types of bacteria in urine is present. A Gram-positive, is in the
gastrointestinal tract in humans healthy. The gastrointestinal tract and feces,
it moves to the urinary tract infections and uncontrolled proliferation. Unlike
a urinary tract infection can infect the blood, wounds and pelvic area. The
infection is caused by this bacterium is difficult to treat, as the pathogen is
resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics, including penicillin.
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Another urine is in the types
of bacteria in K. pneumoniae. As its name suggests, it is responsible for
developing pneumonia. This bacterium colonizes the skin, throat,
gastrointestinal tract, lungs and surgical incision site. Urinary tract infection
by gram-negative bacterium that is common in children, the elderly and those
with weakened immune systems, said. The correct diagnosis and treatment of
bacterial infections are of crucial importance because the pathogen is not in
response to certain antibiotics.
Proteus
Proteus with E. coli,
Klebsiella and other strains of bacteria to the digestive tract flora. Proteus
infection resulted if the Gram-negative bacteria (particularly P. mirabilis)
from the gut the way to the bladder and urethra, causing urinary tract
infections. For patients with a Proteus infection, urine is dark, alkaline, and
will always stink. Sometimes the blood in the urine (hematuria), and the
patient feels a burning sensation during urination and frequent urination.
This strain of gram-positive
bacteria is present in the gastrointestinal (GI), urinary tract and vagina in
women. It creates an acidic environment by producing lactic acid, which makes
the area conducive to the growth of certain harmful microbes. There is also a
symbiotic relationship with some of the intestinal flora, the presence of
Lactobacillus in trace amounts in the urine sample are not of concern. However,
a rapid multiplication of this bacterium is not a good sign and indicates
infection.
