Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be difficult to diagnose and therefore a quicker and cheaper method but still having a high reliability result is needed. Multiplex real-time PCR can diagnose UTI better, as it has a high accuracy and time-efficiency. In other hand, as many infection is caused by bacterial attachment to cells, anti-adhesion therapeutics can be an option for treatment methods. Our objective is to analyse whether real-time multiplex PCR and anti-adhesive therapeutics can become the best methods for diagnosis and treatment options respectively. Results showed that it is feasible to identify uropathogens with more than 90% accuracy by using multiplex real-time PCR; while modified isoquinolone-mannoside is proved to have the highest FimH affinity and potency of any antagonists reported to date. Finally, we conclude that multiplex real-time PCR and the use of ZFH-04269, pilicides ec240, and mannosides as FimH adhesins inhibitor might be applicable as novel diagnostic method and treatment for UTIs.
