【 摘 要 】

Catheter acquired urinary tract infection (CA-UTI) is the source of about 20% of health care acquiredbacteremia in acute care and 50% and more in long term care facilities. As biofilm forms in all these devices,development of bacteriuria depends on the duration of catheterization. Therefore the most important way toprevent CA-UTI is to avoid or limit indwelling catheter use; proper selection, insertion, & maintenance ofcatheter; surveillance of CA-UTI and catheter use; monitor infections and other complications. Use oftechnically advanced Catheter materials prevents biofilm formation and reduces CA-UTI.
