Introduction: Studies have shown many genes influence antibiotic resistance, and the relationship between genotypic and phenotypic antibiotic resistance is unclear. We sought to analyze the concordance between the presence of antibiotic resistance (ABR) genes and antibiotic susceptibility results in urine samples collected from symptomatic UTI patients. Methods: Urine samples were collected from patients presenting with possible UTI to 37 geographically disparate Urology clinics from July 2018 to February 2019. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) was used to test for 33 different ABR genes. Samples in which at least one organism was identified at a quantity of ≥104 cells per mL, …
Defining And Detecting Bacterial Consortia Within Urine Samples Of Patients With Symptomatic Urinary Tract Infection, Annah Vollstedt, Dakun Wang, Natalie Luke, David Baunoch, Kirk J. Wojno, Kevin Cline, Natalie Gaines, Howard Korman, S Mohammad Jafri, David Wenzler, Frank Burks, Larry Sirls

Conference Presentation Abstracts
Introduction: Bacterial consortia are non-random patterns of bacterial communities that work synergistically to provide growth and survival advantages over planktonic, free-floating, microbes. In this study, we aim to characterize bacterial consortia identified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) in symptomatic patients with polymicrobial urinary tract infections (UTI). Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 2493 UTI-symptomatic patients over the age of 60 from 37 geographically disparate urology clinics from July 2018 to February 2019. M-PCR was performed to detect 24 different bacterial species. A cutoff of 10 detections was used to distinguish a bacterial consortium from a random association of …

Fractional Carbon Dioxide Vaginal Laser For The Treatment Of Urinary Symptoms: Preliminary Short-Term Results, Annah Vollstedt, Lauren Tennyson, Michael Rezaee, Ly Hoang Roberts, Larry Sirls, Priya Padmanabhan, Kenneth M. Peters

Introduction: It has been proposed that fractional carbon dioxide (fCO2) vaginal laser can also treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by increasing collagen production. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of vaginal fCO2 laser therapy in patients complaining of SUI. Methods: This is a prospective, open-label study of women over 18 years old with complaints of urogenital symptoms. Women with a history of vaginal estrogen use within the last 3 months were excluded. Participants received 3 laser treatments 6 weeks apart. Cough stress test (CST) was performed at each visit. Incontinence-Quality of Life (I-QOL), Questionnaire for Urinary …

Conference Presentation Abstracts
Introduction: The two main challenges during the COVID 19 pandemic were to keep essential employees safe and to provide timely care to patients. We devised a novel urine specimen home pickup strategy for our patients with hematuria, irritative voiding symptoms as well as bladder cancer to address these issues. Methods: An employee dropped off necessary equipment for the urine sample to symptomatic patients’ houses. A clean catch specimen was collected and the sample left at the front door. The driver wearing PPE picked up the sample within 30 minutes and delivered it to the lab. Dipstick analysis was performed. Patients …
