Collecting urine samples in neonates by catheterisation or suprapubic puncture causes trauma, whereas self-adhesive collection bags can damage fragile skin. An alternative method is the collection of samples from urine-soaked cotton wool balls placed in diapers. The aim of this study was to compare the concentration of albumin, creatinine, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and uromodulin between clean-catch urine and samples collected in cotton wool balls in neonates and assess the efficiency of exosome extraction. Standard clean-catch urine samples were assayed for albumin, creatinine, NGAL, and uromodulin using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Concentrations were compared to the same urine samples extracted immediately from soaked cotton wool balls (sample 2, S2) or the urine extracted from cotton wool balls placed in a diaper in a warm incubator for 2 h before extraction (sample 3, S3). Exosomes were extracted from all three samples of one patient for visualisation by electron microscopy. Twenty-six infants (17 males) of median gestational age at birth of 32+1 weeks had urine collected at a median age of 29 days at 37+6 weeks corrected age. Concentrations in S2 and S3 were within 10% of the concentration of standard samples in 46% and 35% of specimens for albumin, 69% and 58% for creatinine, 12% and 12% for NGAL, and 27% and 15% for uromodulin, respectively, without consistent positive or negative bias. Urine albumin/creatinine ratios (UACRs) were 4.3% less in S2 and 4.5% less in S3 than in standard samples. Exosomes were extracted and visualised from all three sample types. Neonatal urine samples extracted from cotton wool balls can be used to screen for relevant albuminuria but provide imprecise estimates of NGAL and uromodulin. The proof of exosome extraction from urine collection in cotton wool balls opens the potential to examine exosomal cargo.

Shigellosis is an acute, often dysenteric, diarrhoeal illness that is responsible for much morbidity and mortality worldwide. Increasing rates of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella species have been detected worldwide and a regular review of local epidemiological and resistance rates is necessary to help guide empirical antibiotic choice. This retrospective laboratory study of faecal isolates between 2013 and 2023 demonstrates increasing rates of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, azithromycin and ciprofloxacin, alongside an overall increase in MDR and XDR isolates.
