Proteus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Staph
What amino acids are responsible in cystinuria
Cystine, Ornathine, Lysine, Arginine.
Thiola
Treatment for hypercystinuria --> prevents deposition.
177
177
Secretory status and recurr UTI
Recessive (a-b-) and nonsecreter (a+b-) are more disposed to recurrent UTI (Referes to secretion of Ab's)
Four factors that promote UTI
SEAS - Sex, Estrogen dep, Antimicrobials, Spermicide

Common pathoegens in inpatient
E coli, Proteus/Klebs/Entercocci, Pseudomonas/Serratia/Achinetobacter
Where can you find quiescent bacteria in the bladder?
In the intermediate cells (below the umbrella cells)
What counts as a 'Complicated' urinary tract infect.
Immunocomp, Diabetic, Pregnant, Catheterized, Resistant bacteria.
First and second line UTI treatment
1: TMP 2. Usually Fluorquinolone or Fosfomycin (or nitrofurantoin)
178
178
Where is most BPH

Epithelial proliveration from HPV (venereal warts)
Which HPV strains cause condyloma acuminatum
HPV-6, 11, and sometime 16
What are the three zones of the prostate, and how are thye correlated w/ cancer/BPH
Central, Transition(BPH) and peripheral (Cancer or inflam)
