To determine if microbes detected by M-PCR were likely causative of UTI by measuring inflammatory biomarkers in the urine of symptomatic patients. Design, Setting, and Participants: Midstream voided urine was collected from subjects ≥ 60 years presenting to urology clinics with symptoms of UTI (n = 1132) between 01/2023 and 05/2023. Microbe detection was by M-PCR and inflammation-associated biomarker (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, interleukin 8, and interleukin 1β) was by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Biomarker positivity was measured against individual and groups of organisms, E. coli and non-E. coli cases, emerging uropathogens, monomicrobial and polymicrobial cases. Outcome Measurements and Statistical Analysis: Distributions were compared using 2-sample Wilcoxon Rank Sum test with 2-tailed p-values < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results and Limitations: M-PCR was positive in 823 (72.7%) specimens with 28 of 30 (93%) microorganisms/groups detected. Twenty-six of twenty-eight detected microorganisms/groups (93%) had ≥ 2 biomarkers positive in > 66% of cases. Both non-E. coli cases and E. coli cases had significant biomarker positivity (p < 0.05). Limitations were that a few organisms had low prevalence making inferences about their individual significance difficult. Conclusion: The majority of microorganisms identified by M-PCR were associated with active inflammation measured by biomarker positivity, indicating they are likely causative of UTIs in symptomatic patients. This includes emerging uropathogens frequently not detected by standard urine culture. Plain Language Summary: The M-PCR assay is a novel diagnostic assay for UTI. This study found that most organisms included in the M-PCR assay were:detected in the urine of patients at least 60 years of age with a presumptive UTI diagnosisassociated with biomarkers of infection and inflammation Thus, the M-PCR assay:is clinically relevanthas a low likelihood of false-positivity for UTI [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
