Benvenuti nell'Anagrafe della Ricerca d'Ateneo
La valutazione delle attività di ricerca che si svolgono nelle università ha assunto un'importanza rilevante sia per l'intero sistema universitario sia all'interno di ogni singolo ateneo. Roma Tre si è quindi dotata di idonei strumenti informativi in grado di supportare al meglio le azioni di monitoraggio e di valutazione delle attività di ricerca svolte nei propri dipartimentied ha realizzato una Anagrafe della Ricerca di Ateneo.
EnglishBackground: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases. Results obtained from conventional microbiological analysis of urine and anti-biotic susceptibility testing are available only after a few days, delaying precise diagnosis and appropriate therapy. Micro Biological Survey (MBS) srl (a spin-off of Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy) has developed and patented an automated colorimetric test for rapid bacterial counting. In a preliminary validation study it was demonstrated that the results obtained with the MBS method are equivalent to the results obtained with conventional culture-based microbiological analysis. Methods: In this study, sterile urine samples were artifi-cially contaminated with bacterial species that are most frequently responsible for UTIs. The MBS method was used to evaluate the presence of bacteria and their sen-sitivity to some of the most commonly used antibiotics in UTIs. Results: The MBS method was able to detect in a few hours the presence or absence of bacteria at clinically significant concentrations ( > 105 CFU/mL), and to provide their sus-ceptibility pattern to a limited panel of antibiotics. Discussion: The results obtained demonstrate that the MBS point-of-care testing (POCT) device could be devel-oped into a valuable aid for the management of UTIs, pos-sibly addressing more precise diagnosis and appropriate therapy.
