Abstract
Urinary tract infection when associated with bladder catheterization delay is one of the most common causes of infection related to health care, accounting for 40% of the incidence. Much of microorganisms that contaminate the drainage system stems from inadequate aseptic technique and hygiene oversights in the microbiota of the perineal and perianal region. It is an infection with high preventive potential, suggesting the need for educational interventions, with the purpose to train professionals, aimed at prevention and health promotion.
