Abstract:

Urinary system infection is one of the most common infectious diseases in clinic. Timely treatment of urinary system infections can avoid pathogens invading the important organs,such as kidney,and improve patients'prognosis and living quality. The key of efficient treatment of urinary system infections is timely determining the types of pathogens and their susceptibility to antibiotics. At present,the traditional clinical diagnosis of urinary system infections focuses on urinary culturing and routine urinary examination,which have some shortcomings in timeliness and accuracy. Many new technologies and methods,such as mass spectrometry,surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy,sensors and molecular biology,provide new ideas for the timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment of urinary system infections,and display potential application prospects.

Key words: Urinary system infection, Determination method, New technology, New method
