Abstract

A study of 75 patients undergoing transurethral surgery with relatively short-term urethral catheterization with a sterile closed gravity drainage system revealed a 72% over-all incidence of negative urine cultures after catheter removal. The combination of prophylactic use of antimicrobials and a standardized catheter care system is valuable for preventing catheter-associated bacteriuria.
