Urinary Catheter-Associated Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2012Catheter-acquired urinary infection is the most common device-associated healthcare-acquired infection. Although most patients are asymptomatic, symptomatic infection may occur and is associated with increased morbidity and costs. Long-term indwelling catheters are associated with more complex microbiology and greater morbidity than short-term ...

Urinary Catheter-Associated Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North AmericaCatheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common and costly hospital-acquired infections, yet they are largely preventable. The greatest modifiable risk factor for developing a CAUTI is duration of catheterization, including initial indwelling catheter placement when it may not otherwise be necessary.

CATHETER-ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1987Millions 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, 2001In 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

Although often a necessary intervention, urinary catheters are the leading cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in hospitalized patients and are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. Avoidance of prolonged or any bladder catherization is recommended if possible.
