摘要: Urinary catheters are indwelling medical devices used in both the nosocomial and nursing home settings for relief of urinary retention incontinence. Due to frequent- sometimes unnecessary-use these (circa 21–50% patients), many individuals placed at risk from sequelae associated with catheter placement. The most notable complication is development tract infections (UTIs) known as catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs). Over one million CAUTI cases per annum recorded United States; this represents greater than 40% all infections. Both presence itself setting predispose CAUTIs. CAUTIS may be caused by a number etiological agents; common being Escherichia coli Proteus mirabilis. Microorganisms isolated less commonly CAUTIs include Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas spp. Enterobacter Regardless genus, pathogens wishing survive within environment catheterized must possess essential virulence factors including, importantly, those related adherence itself. This chapter seeks set out detail nature factors.
