This study was designed to detect whether nanobacteria (NB) reside in urine and bladder tissue samples of patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) and whether antibiotic therapy targeting these organisms is effective in reducing NB levels and IC/PBS symptoms.. Twenty-seven IC/PBS patients underwent cystoscopy. Bladder biopsies and urine samples were obtained and cultured for NB, which were identified by indirect immunofluorescent staining and transmission electron microscopy.. Eleven bladder samples showed growth of microbes that were identified to be similar to NB. Homologous study of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene suggested that the NB could be the pathogen. For enrolled 11 patients, NB levels decreased dramatically after tetracycline treatment, and they reported significant reduction in the severity of IC/PBS symptoms.. A high prevalence of NB was observed in female IC/PBS, and anti-NB treatment effectively improved the symptoms, which suggest that NB may cause some cases of IC/PBS.

5 young male patients with all the symptoms and signs of genito-urinary tuberculosis but in whom no organism could be cultured from the urine are described. 4 of them rapidly responded to a course of tetracycline. Various organisms are suggested as a cause of this condition, and careful bacteriological investigation in the future might discover the cause.

The clinical, laboratory, and radiographic characteristics of polypoid cystitis in 2 dogs were similar to those commonly associated with neoplasms of the urinary bladder. Gross appearance of the polyps did not permit differentiation between inflammation and neoplasia; microscopic examination of excised tissue was required to establish a definitive diagnosis. Following surgical extirpation of the polyps, remission of clinical signs was induced by prolonged antibacterial therapy.
