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.

Optimal management of urinary tract infections in older people [PDF]
, 2011 Urinary tract infections (UTI) occur frequently in older people. Unfortunately, UTI is commonly overdiagnosed and overtreated on the basis of nonspecific clinical signs and symptoms.

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

Immobilization of antimicrobial core-shell nanospheres onto silicone for prevention of Escherichia coli biofilm formation [PDF]
, 2016 Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains are among the most frequently isolated microorganisms in urinary tract infections able to colonize the surface of urinary catheters and form biofilms.

Urinary pH and the Indwelling Catheter [PDF]
Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 1980 The pH of the urine within a blocked indwelling catheter was significantly higher than the pH of the first urine portion from the new catheter. This observation suggests that the urinary pH was changed in an alkaline direction within the indwelling catheter, probably due to the production of ammonia induced by urease from Proteus strains.

Use of in vitro and haptic assessments in the characterisation of surface lubricity [PDF]
, 2018 Lubricity is a key property of hydrophilic-coated urinary catheter surfaces. In vitro tests are commonly employed for evaluation of surface properties in the development of novel catheter coating technologies, however, their value in predicting the more ...
