    Abstract Urinary tract infection is the most common infection in almost half of the renal transplant patients. The development of UTI in these patients may progress to bacteremia, acute T cell-mediated rejection, impaired allograft function, or allograft loss, along with the increased risk of hospitalization and death. Among various pathogens implicated, Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), especially sequence type 131 (ST131), is the most virulent and multidrug-resistant pathogen. High antimicrobial resistance to most β-lactam antibiotics, mediated by extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) produced by UPEC, is a challenge in the clinical management of UTIs in kidney transplant recipients. Indeed, multidrug resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is a direct consequence of ESBL production. Resistance to other antibiotics such as aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole has also been reported in ESBLs-producing UPEC, which reduces the therapeutic options, rising healthcare-associated costs and subsequently leads to renal failure or even graft loss. In this review, we aimed to discuss the post-transplant risk factors of UTI, UPEC virulence factors (VF), and the related factors including quorum sensing, and stress resistance genes. Furthermore, we searched for the current treatment strategies and some of the alternate approaches proposed as therapeutic options that may affirm the treatment of ESBL-producing UPEC.

    Abstract Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of NAFLD on CIMT as a risk factor for atherosclerosis.
    Background: The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide due to rise of obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM) prevalence. Non-invasive assessment of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) by high-resolution carotid B-mode ultrasonography is widely used for determining the atherosclerosis.
    Patients and methods: In this case-control setting, 151 subjects were categorized in three groups: group I including 49 patients with NAFLD and DM; group II including 50 non-diabetic NAFLD patients; and the control including 52 normal subjects as group III. The right and left CIMTs and its maximum reading (CIMTmax) were measured by a skilled sonographist blind to the groups. The sonographic grading of the NAFLD was determined in group I and II.
    Results: Median CIMTmax was significantly higher in group I comparing with group II and control group (p<0.001). This difference between group I and group II was not significant after adjusting for age and history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia (p=0.089). After controlling the confounders, there was statistical significant between group I and group II with the control group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in median maximal thickness of intima-media in the carotid of group I compare to group II in patients with and without elevated liver enzymes (in both groups, 0.6 mm, p= 0.402).
    Conclusion: Based on our findings, there is a significant association between the presence of NAFLD and atherosclerosis. This association was independent to the DM presence. The grade of NAFLD and elevated liver function tests had no effect on severity of atherosclerosis.
