The Role of Bacterial Biofilms in Infections and Effective Prevention Strategies for Biofilm Formation in Urinary Catheters [PDF]

OUSL Journal, 2020
Biofilm formation is a complicated microbiological process and one of the distinctive features of pathogenic bacteria. Biofilms are a cluster of bacterial cells enclosed in extra polymeric substances and irreversibly attached onto a surface.

Tamm-Horsfall protein facilitates catheter associated urinary tract infection

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Urinary catheters are associated, commonly with bacteriuria and frequently with urinary tract infection. Tamm-Horsfall Protein (THP) is urine's most abundant protein and is known to bind to uropathogenic bacteria.

Urinary Catheter Management [PDF]

Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery, 2013
After colorectal resection surgery, early urinary catheter removal has been promoted as a part of the national Surgical Care Improvement Project. However, the decrease in urinary tract infection expected with this strategy must be balanced against an increased risk for urinary retention. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to summarize

Effect of reduced urinary catheter duration on time to ambulation after VATS lobectomy

Surgery in Practice and Science, 2023
Introduction: Faster time to ambulation (TTA) after video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is associated with improved outcomes. We hypothesized that reduced urinary catheter duration leads to shorter TTA after VATS lobectomy.
