Catheter-associated urinary tract infection.
OBJECTIVES To study the incidence, risk factors, clinical outcomes and antibiotic costs of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) in patients with indwelling urinary catheter for one week and longer MATERIAL AND METHOD Patients in neurology and neurosurgery wards in a teaching hospital were studied. Patients with UTI before catheterization and in whom the catheter was removed be...
متن کاملActivity of a nitrofurazone matrix urinary catheter against catheter-associated uropathogens.
Nitrofurazone-coated urinary catheter segments inhibited 51 (75%) of 70 urinary bacterial isolates from patients with indwelling catheters. Inhibition zones correlated significantly with the nitrofurazone MIC (r2 = 0.79, P = 0.0001). All strains except the Pseudomonas spp. were inhibited by < or = 64 micrograms of nitrofurazone per ml. MICs of nitrofurazone and nitrofurantoin correlated signifi...
متن کاملPrevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infection.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The underlying cause of catheter-associated urinary tract infection is biofilm formation by uropathogens on the urinary catheter. Biofilm is a relatively new concept in medicine, and current measures to prevent biofilm formation are inadequate. Considerable work is being done in this area, but little clinical progress has been made. The purpose of this review is to analyze rec...
متن کاملPrevention of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary catheter placement is an extremely common medical intervention. It can be used either temporarily, for example to drain a full bladder, to monitor urine output or it can be indwelling for long term drainage. While urinary catheters are a safe medical practice, complications can and do arise from their use and can be a source of morbidity for hospital or nursing home residents. The term ...
متن کامل[Prevention of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections].
With a share of 22.4%, nosocomial urinary tract infections (nUTIs) are among the most frequent infections acquired in hospitals, along with surgical site infections (24.7%), pneumonia (21.5%), clostridium difficile infections (6.6%) and primary sepsis (6%) 1. 80% of all nUTIs are associated with indwelling urinary catheters, with 12-16% of all hospitalised patients and up to 81.8% of all intens...
