Urine Fluorescence Profiling in UTI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Midstream urine from eight anonymous healthy volunteers was collected and immediately screened with a urine dipstick (Multistix® 10 SG reagent strip, Siemens, Germany). Urine cultures were performed by streaking 10 µl urine on Brilliance™ UTI Agar (Oxoid, UK), and incubating the plates at 37 °C. Next day, colony-forming units (CFUs) were counted, and bacterial species were identified based on the colony color. To investigate urine’s native fluorescence, 2 × 100 µl from each healthy urine sample were transferred in a transparent, flat-bottom 96-well plate, and excitation spectra of 300–520 nm with emission collected at 545 nm were collected using an Infinite® M1000 PRO plate reader (TECAN, Mannedorf, Switzerland).
Aliquots of 3–5 ml of urine samples were collected anonymously from 182 patients with confirmed UTI caused by >105 CFU/ml of UPEC from Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. All samples were immediately analyzed, and discarded after use.

All cats received veterinary inspections at baseline and 30, 60, and 90 days. Urine and hematological analyses were performed at baseline (T0) and at the end of the evaluation (T1). Dipstick urinalysis was performed using Multistix® 10 SG® reagent strips (Siemens S.p.A, Milan, Italy). The reagent strip contained test pads for pH, urine specific gravity, and proteins. Urine color was graded according to the following score: dark = 0, clear = 1, and very clear = 2. Turbidity was graded according to the following score: limpid = 0, partially turbid = 1, and turbid = 2 (Canello et al. 2017). Hematological analyses [creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), phosphorus, potassium, calcium, albumin, hematocrit, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)] were performed using Dimension RxL Max Integrated Chemistry System (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics S.r.l., Milan, Italy).

Eligible patients submitted two spot sputum samples (A&B) and up to 120mL of spontaneously voided urine. Though sputum induction was available, no patients required induction and all samples were expectorated. Sputum was concentrated for fluorescence smear microscopy (x2) and solid and liquid culture (x2). Urine was analyzed using Multistix 10SG Reagent Strips and Clinitek Analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Tarrytown, NY, USA), and processed using the prototype concentration method and lateral flow assay (LFA). Patients that self-identified as HIV-positive had CD4+ T-cell counts measured using a BD FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Patients who were unsure or reported negative were tested using the Alere Determine™ HIV Ag/Ab test and confirmed using other diagnostic tests in the algorithm. Patients with discrepant urine TB-LAM LFA and sputum Xpert results, specifically false positives, were followed-up at 1 and 2 months for repeat symptom assessment and sputum-based TB testing.

Participant adherence was evaluated based on attendance at in-person sessions that included spot urines to measure hydration status, completion of telephone counseling calls, and self-reported dietary and water intake. We also evaluated participant satisfaction with the intervention.
Diet and physical activity were assessed by 3 unannounced 24-hour recall interviews (2 weekdays, 1 weekend day) at baseline and again at 6-months. The interviewer was masked to group assignment. Dietary data were collected using the Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) software versions 2010–2013, developed by the Nutrition Coordinating Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Final calculations were completed using NDSR version 2013. Physical activity data were collected using established methods 31 (link),32 (link) and are presented as metabolic equivalents (METs) 33 (link). At each in-person session, participants provided a spot urine sample that was immediately analyzed for specific gravity (MultiStix 10 SG reagent strips; Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.). At the end of the study, participants responded to satisfaction questions related to the standard weight loss diet using 10-cm visual analog scales with appropriate verbal anchors. The Water group completed additional questions related to the “8×8” recommendation.
