Implication

Observational study reveals high infection rates and resistance patterns in catheterized patients, highlighting the need for targeted prevention and antibiotic stewardship.

Key Points

Symptomatic urinary tract infections developed in 21% of catheterized patients, while microbial presence was detected across 31.4% of urine samples.
Escherichia coli caused 17.1% of infections, with placement outside operating suites and longer catheter duration driving elevated infection rates.
Assessment of 105 catheterized patients links diabetes mellitus to infection risk, urging proactive prevention and antimicrobial stewardship.
