Novel workflow ideas to exclude or identify urinary tract infections –whilethepatientwaits Assoc. Prof. Arzu İLKİ,MD Department of ClinicalMicrobiology Marmara University School of Medicine
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the mostcommonlyencounteredinfectiousdiseases.
Urineculturesareamongthemostfrequentcultures in clinicalmicrobiologylaboratories. • Urine cultures account for the majority of theworkload in the clinical microbiology laboratory.
Urineculture is thegoldstandardforthediagnosis of UTI. • Howeverresultsaregenerallyobtained at 24-48 hours.
May result in Empiricantimicrobialtherapy Unnecessaryorinadequateantibioticuse Antibioticresistance
Negative cultures accountfor at least 80% of urine samples, • Toruleoutdiagnosis of urinarytractinfection… morerapid but reliablemethodsotherthancultureareneeded. • Today, manydifferentautomatedmethodsavailable
Sysmex UF1000i • The Sysmex UF-100 has recently been improved to the SysmexUF-1000i.
Sysmex (fluorescence flowcytometer) a well-knownsystemfor urinalysis • Recently, newanalytical features suitable for microbiologicaldiagnostics SysmexUF1000i
SysmexUF1000i • Thereare 2 chambers; 1 forsedimentanalysisand 1 formicrobes. • Bacterial detection and counting are performed by theanalyzer in a dedicated analytical channel with a specific reagentsystem. • Thisseparate bacterial chamber: prevents interference with human body cells , improves thedetection of bacteriabycountingchannels.

SysmexUF1000i • Resultswereevaluatedaccordingtothe cutoffvalues as: leucocyte>=5/μl & bacteria>10/μl.
ForFemales (n:736) NPV 98% Decrease in 40% workload
ForChildren (n:1148) NPV 99% Decrease in 60% workload
ForMales (n:553) NPV 100% Decrease in 65% workload

Aim.. • Excludeallthe sterile urinesandcultureonlytheoneshavingbacteria • Diminishtheworkload of laboratoryandtoincreasethecosteffectiveness of theprocedures.

CONCLUSION • Negativeresults at most 10 min. afterthearrival of thesampletothelaboratory. • Workload Cutoffresults 1/3-2/3 diminish • Costsaving (approx. half of theculture)
