There was weak evidence that antibiotic prophylaxis compared to giving antibiotics when clinically indicated reduced the rate of symptomatic urinary tract infection in female patients with abdominal surgery and a urethral catheter for 24 hours.
Abstract
There was weak evidence that antibiotic prophylaxis compared to giving antibiotics when clinically indicated reduced the rate of symptomatic urinary tract infection in female patients with abdominal surgery and a urethral catheter for 24 hours. The limited evidence indicated that receiving antibiotics during the first three postoperative days or from postoperative day two until catheter removal reduced the rate of bacteriuria and other signs of infection such as pyuria and gram-negative isolates in patients urine in surgical patients with bladder drainage for at least 24 hours postoperatively. There was also limited evidence that prophylactic antibiotics reduced bacteriuria in non-surgical patients.

If adjustments are made for the accuracy of the diagnostic method, the increasing nationwide secular trend, and the number of nosocomial infections in nursing homes, however, as many as 4 million nosocomIAL infections per year may now be occurring.

It is concluded that the acquisition of urinary-tract infection during indwelling bladder catheterization is associated with nearly a threefold increase in mortality among hospitalized patients, but the reason for this association is not yet clear.

421 Citations2001John W. Warren
UTI is the most common infection acquired in both hospitals and nursing homes and is usually associated with catheterization and the clinician must keep two concepts in mind: keep the catheter system closed in order to postpone the onset of bacteriuria, and remove theCatheter as soon as possible.

The urinary tract of catheterized patients is highly susceptible to infection once small numbers of microorganisms gain access and that a concentration considerably below 10s organisms per milliliter may be clinically and epidemiologically important in this setting.

In conclusion, the widely-held but poorly documented belief that persons with diabetes are more susceptible to urinary tract infection than are persons without diabetes is strongly supported.

There was more limited evidence that the use of intermittentCatheterisation was also associated with a lower risk of bacteriuria than indwelling urethral catheterisation, but might be more costly.

Life-table analyses demonstrated that the daily risk for acquiring bacteriuria during the first six days of catheterization was higher among patients ultimately catheterized for ≥7 days than among those ultimatelyCatheterization for < 7 days (P<0.05).

Meatal care with silver sulfadiazine cream did not prevent the development of catheter-associated bacteriuria in short-term catheterized patients, and survival curve analysis of subgroups stratified by sex and antibiotic use failed to detect an effect of silver sulfADiazine on the rate of bacteriaiuria.

Because the protective effect is transient and is associated with the selection of resistant organisms, prophylaxis is not indicated for patients at low risk for acquired bacteriuria and in whom the sequelae of catheter-associated infections are infrequent.
