emerging health problems still underestimated. Only in 2009 the European Society of Clinical
Microbiology and Infection (ESCMID) was able to publish guidelines for this serious disease.

resolution of this healthcare problem.

infection as clinical presentation, symptoms and signs, therapeutic options and risk factors with a
focus on urologic pathology.
Conclusions: This type of infection represents a challenge from many points of view like
treatment, relapse approach, mortality, morbidity, germ’ s adaptability to treatment and last but
not the least the outbreak of different aggressive strains like B1,NAP1 or ribotype 027 toxinotype
III.
