We hypothesized that this may be true only in very specific outpatient settings. During the year 2010, 113\u00a0720 urine samples were sent for culture to the Karolinska University Hospital, from both clinics in the hospital and from primary care units. Patient age, gender and month of sampling were analysed for <jats:italic>S. saprophyticus<\/jats:italic>,<jats:italic> Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>,<jats:italic> Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Proteus mirabilis<\/jats:italic>. Species data were obtained for 42\u00a0633 (37%) of the urine samples. The most common pathogens were <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> (57.0%), <jats:italic>Enterococcus faecalis<\/jats:italic> (6.5%), <jats:italic>K. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic> (5.9%), group B streptococci (5.7%), <jats:italic>P. mirabilis<\/jats:italic> (3.0%) and <jats:italic>S. saprophyticus<\/jats:italic> (1.8%). The majority of subjects with <jats:italic>S. saprophyticus<\/jats:italic> were women 15\u201329\u00a0years of age (63.8%). In this age group, <jats:italic>S. saprophyticus<\/jats:italic> constituted 12.5% of all urinary tract pathogens. <jats:italic>S. saprophyticus<\/jats:italic> is a common urinary tract pathogen in young women, but its relative importance is low compared with <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> even in this patient group. For women in other ages and for men, growth of <jats:italic>S. saprophyticus<\/jats:italic> is a quite uncommon finding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0463.2012.02937.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,28]],"date-time":"2012-06-28T12:29:23Z","timestamp":1340886563000},"page":"72-78","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["The relative importance of <i>Staphylococcus saprophyticus<\/i> as a urinary tract pathogen: distribution of bacteria among urinary samples analysed during 1\u00a0year at a major <scp>S<\/scp>wedish laboratory"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"121","author":[{"given":"Andreas","family":"Eriksson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Infectious Diseases Department of Medicine Karolinska Institutet  Solna Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian G.","family":"Giske","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Microbiology MTC Karolinska Institutet Karolinska University Hospital  Solna Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"Ternhag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Infectious Diseases Department of Medicine Karolinska Institutet  Solna Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9343(02)01054-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mda.2003.8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/138.6.791"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(02)00438-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/02813438709018101"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02813430601183074"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/dkg028"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00365540903470655"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00144428"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/428353"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/427507"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1983.03340220031028"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00365549309169670"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijantimicag.2009.04.012"}],"container-title":["APMIS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1600-0463.2012.02937.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1600-0463.2012.02937.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]],"date-time":"2023-11-22T06:49:47Z","timestamp":1700635787000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1600-0463.2012.02937.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,28]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1600-0463.2012.02937.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1600-0463.2012.02937.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0903-4641","1600-0463"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0903-4641","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0463","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,28]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2011-10-20","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2012-05-23","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2012-06-28","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
