Urinary tract infections (UTI) are important hospital acquired entities, resulting in bacteriuria indicated by the presence of significant numbers of bacteria in the urine. This study examined the prevalence of bacteriuria in our patients with gallbladder diseases. Three hundred and forty eight patients with various gallbladder (GB) diseases were enrolled in our study. Routine bacteriological cultures of midstream urine specimens were done. Significant bacteriuria was defined as the growth of 105 or more organisms in pure culture per milliliter of urine. Forty four (12.6%) of the patients (18 symptomatic; 26 asymptomatic) showed bacteriuria. Escherichia coli was the predominant isolate followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococci and several others. Thus UTI is also a frequent concomitant of gall bladder diseases and is a sign of the fact that kidneys are in a condition endangered by pyelonephritis.
尿路感染（UTI）是重要的医院获得性病症，导致菌尿症，其特征是尿液中存在大量细菌。本研究调查了胆囊疾病患者中菌尿症的患病率。348例患有各种胆囊疾病的患者纳入我们的研究。对中段尿标本进行常规细菌培养。显著菌尿症定义为每毫升尿液纯培养物中生长105个或更多的微生物。44例（12.6%）患者（18例有症状；26例无症状）出现菌尿症。大肠埃希菌是主要分离菌，其次是肺炎克雷伯菌、肠杆菌、铜绿假单胞菌、肠球菌和其他几种细菌。因此，UTI也是胆囊疾病的常见伴随病症，并且表明肾脏处于受肾盂肾炎威胁的状态。
