Diagnosis of Subclinical Urinary Tract Infections Using Advanced Microbiome Survey Techniques in High Risk Trauma Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Identify of bacteria, genes and proteins that are highly predictive of UTI development [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 Outcome Measures
- Biomarker candidates for UTIs recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment. [Nine months]
- Morbidity [9 months]
- Mortality [9 months]
