Diagnosis of Subclinical Urinary Tract Infections Using Advanced Microbiome Survey Techniques in High Risk Trauma Patients

The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can identify early those patients who are admitted to the hospital and have a urinary tract infection (UTI) or those patients that develop a UTI during their hospitalization.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Identify of bacteria, genes and proteins that are highly predictive of UTI development

    Time frame: Nine months

    To identify which bacteria, genes and proteins will be highly predictive of UTI development in geriatric trauma patients. We hypothesize that the combination of 16S rDNA and metaproteomics will identify the most informative biosignatures (species/genes/proteins) discerning UTI from asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Biomarker candidates for UTIs recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment.

    Time frame: Nine months

  2. Morbidity

    Time frame: 9 months

  3. Mortality

    Time frame: 9 months
