Abstract
Catheter-associated bacteriuria is the most common nosocomial infection in both acute and long-term care facilities. Complications include fever, bacteremia, acute pyelonephritis, urinary stones, chronic renal inflammation, and death. Catheter-associated bacteriuria can be postponed by maintaining the closed nature of the catheter system. Postponement may become prevention of bacteriuria if the catheter is removed as soon as possible.
