  1. My doctor found that I had a lot of bacteria growing in my urine but he said I didn’t need antibiotics because it’s not an infection. I don’t have any symptoms but I thought that bacteria in my urine means that I have a urinary tract infection. What does this mean for me?
  2. About three months ago I was diagnosed with a case of acute bacterial prostatitis. I was put on a four week course of ofloxacin. My urine samples were negative for bacteria but from what i understand, this is common for prostatitis sufferers. I have recently been experiencing some discharge after urination. No real burning, or blood in urine, but a weak stream and the same lower back pain that I experienced the first time around. Should I go back to get examined even though I have my appt with a urologist in about a week and a half? I would like to be antibiotic free in case the uro wants a sample of prostatic fluid for culture. I’m afraid just because of the history they’ll stick my on another long course of quinolones (which by the way caused major pain in my hips after long term use) Are there other anti-microbials that are as effective as quinolones. I’m worried if I leave it to long it will spread to my bladder or my urethra. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  3. im 47 and 4 days ago my whole pelvic area felt “bruised” and has felt the same since. I dont have any problems going to the bathroom but my bladder area is tender and i also have fluctuating temps. the only thing ive noticed different is my urine is quite darker than normal and im also drinking considrably more water.
  4. Lately it feels like my nerves have been jumping a lot and my hands tighten up and get stiff. This has been happening with my hands since I was young but now its more frequent. I’m wondering if its triggered by excitement. Do you have any idea what this could be?
  5. IS THE GOUT CONSIDERED A MEDICAL DISEASE THAT YOU WILL HAVE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? I AM A 56 YEAR OLD MALE AND I HAVE HAD BOUTS WITH THE GOUT OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS. MY DOCTOR HAS PERSCRIBED MEDS OF FLAIR UPS AS WELL AS PERVENTAIVE MEDS BUT I STILL HAVE FLAIR UPS OF GOUT.

Is staphylococcus sciuri pathogenic in urine?

Staphylococcus sciuri is one species of a group of bacteria common in wildlife. In humans, Staphylococcus sciuri is an extremely rare microbe isolated from the urinary tract. A 2003 article in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology studied 32,741 urine samples and isolated only 13 samples with Staphylococcus sciuri. Of those 13 isolates, only one case of symptomatic urinary tract infection and five cases of asymptomatic bactiuria (greater than 100,000 colony forming units of the same species in a urine culture of a patient without symptoms) were established. Therefore, the study concluded that Staphyloccoccus sciuri can be a pathogen: it is an extremely rare cause of urinary tract infection and can also cause asymptomatic bactiuria. The bacteria is sensitive to Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (Septra or Bactrim).
