Urinary tract infection among indoor patients who underwent urethral catheterization is one of the most common nosocomial infections. Infection in catheterized patients is a result of biofilm formation along catheter that ascends into urinary bladder along the internal and external catheter surfaces. Acquisition of new bacteriuria while a catheter remains in situ is 3 to 7% each day. The aim and objective of this study was to estimate the rate of CAUTI in catheterized indoor patients with their demographic distribution and clinical presentation. Material and methods: We conducted prospective study of 200 cases of indoor patients with age <80 years who underwent catheterization for various surgical indication from September 2017 to October 2019. After taking informed and written consent of patients, we studied CAUTI by culture and sensitivity testing of patient’s urine, graphs were obtained and result analyzed. Results: We had studied 200 indoor patients in which 32 had CAUTI(16%),out of which 68% patients were female, major age group in CAUTI was 60-79 years(44%). 88% CAUTI were asymptomatic. Mean duration of catheterization in CAUTI was 6.2 days.7 type of organism were isolated from 32 patients of CAUTI, Escherichia coli was most frequently isolated microorganism (26%), Candida albicans was second common organism(20%). Out of 32 patients of CAUTI 29(90%) were unimicrobial and 3(10%) were polymicrobial. Conlusions: According to this study Urinary tract infection in catheterized patients was major cause of nosocomial infection. Major patients of CAUTI were asymptomatic but they were big reservoir of cross infection. So we should develop standard infection control programs, implement them and monitor to control CAUTI.
