Snippet: In all, 31/500 (6.2%) samples were positive. Most infections were a single organism (n = 27); four contained multiple organisms. E. coli was the most common species (58% of isolates) followed by Enterococcus species (25% of isolates). Positive specimens were more likely to be from female cats (n = 24) versus male (n = 7) (P = 0.0054). Patient age and body weight were not associated with increased risk of occult UTI. Median urine specific gravity .....
Document: In all, 31/500 (6.2%) samples were positive. Most infections were a single organism (n = 27); four contained multiple organisms. E. coli was the most common species (58% of isolates) followed by Enterococcus species (25% of isolates). Positive specimens were more likely to be from female cats (n = 24) versus male (n = 7) (P = 0.0054). Patient age and body weight were not associated with increased risk of occult UTI. Median urine specific gravity was similar for the positive group (1.022) and controls (1.024). The prevalence of proteinuria on dipstick testing was also similar (84% v 80%). Occult UTIs were strongly associated with bacteriuria (60% v 6%; odds ratio 24.3 [CI: 9.0-65.7]; P < 0.0001) or pyuria (67 v 19%; odds ratio 8.7 [CI: 3.7-20.5]; P < 0.0001) but not microscopic hematuria. Positive specimens were significantly more likely to have an abnormal sediment exam (odds ratio 13.5 [CI 3.9-45.5]; P < 0.0001).
