Abstract :
Introduction–Indwelling urethral catheters act as a source of infection leading to catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), increasing the morbidity, mortality and hospitalization of the patient.
Methodology–We studied the incidence, risk factors, microbiological and antibiotic sensitivity profile of CAUTI. Urinary samples were collected aseptically and were labelled CAUTI using CDC guidelines.
Results– The incidence of CAUTI among study subjects was 31.5%. Duration of catheterization, diabetes mellitus, renal failure and disconnection of catheter tubing were observed to be significantly associated with development of CAUTI. Escherichia coli was found to be the most common microorganism and Tigecycline was found to be most effective against all microorganisms.
Conclusion–Catheterization should be done only if necessary.
