Catheter-associated urinary tract infection: an overview

Journal of Basic and Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology, 2022
Abstract CAUTIs (catheter-associated urinary tract infections) continue to be one of the most common health-care-related illnesses in the entire globe. CAUTIs are the cause of 40% of all hospital-acquired infections and 80% of all nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Indwelling catheter-associated urinary tract infections

British Journal of Community Nursing, 2003
Catheter associated urinary tract infection accounts for a large proportion of all hospital-acquired infections, and there has been little change in the incidence of such infections since the introduction of closed sterile urinary drainage systems in the 1960s.

Biofilms and catheter-associated urinary tract infections

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2003
Urinary catheter-related infections are commonly seen in several different patient populations and lead to substantial morbidity. The overall health care costs caused by these infections are sizable given how often urinary catheters are used in acute care settings, extended care facilities, and in persons with injured spinal cords. Recent attention has

CATHETER-ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1987
Millions of urethral catheters are used each year. This device subverts several host defenses to allow bacterial entry at the rate of 3% to 10% incidence per day, and its presence encourages the organism's persistent residence in the urinary tract. Most catheter-associated bacteriurias are asymptomatic.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections

Current Opinion in Urology, 2001
In the past few years it has been clearly demonstrated that the concept of bacterial biofilm production permits an understanding and provides some explanation of the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of catheter-associated urinary tract infections. This concept describes the colonization of catheter surfaces and the movement of bacteria against the
