Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection: Contributions for Clinical Pratice

Bacteria, Catheter-Related Infections, Urinary Catheterization, Urinary Tract InfectionsAbstract
Healthcare associated infections are one of the major complications
of modern medicine that represents a significant
burden of morbidity, mortality and costs. Healthcare associated
urinary tract infection assumes great importance
because of its high prevalence and association with an
invasive medical device (urinary catheter). In this review,
the authors intend to focus the most relevant topics for clinical
practice improvement in relation to catheter associated
urinary tract infection. The use of effective prevention
strategies, that contemplate reducing unnecessary bladder
catheterizations, allows a significant reduction of infections
as well as related direct and indirect costs. At the same
time, it is fundamental that clinicians be able to correctly
perform the differential diagnosis between catheter associated
urinary tract infection and asymptomatic bacteriuria.
The treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria should be avoided
since there are no clinical benefits of antibiotics use in
this situation.
