Key Points

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections occurred in 51 of 80 catheterized patients, showing an overall infection rate of 15.67% alongside marked male predominance at 55%.
Prospective cross-sectional evaluation identified predominant gram-negative pathogens and candida, with isolates displaying extensive resistance to cephalosporin and fluoroquinolones.
High resistance against amikacin and carbapenems underscores an urgent need for institutional antibiotic stewardship policies and rigorous adherence to catheter bundle care protocols.
