This work was done in 2014 at Taif, KSA, patients (Pts.) for study male hospital admitted were treated by urinary tract catheters (UTCs). They were (No.=50Pts.) normal and (No.=50Pts.) with diseases. Incidence of biofilms presence on UTCs for short and long-terms, through short-term it were 30, and 42%, and in long-term were 72, and 80% for normal and diseased Pts. respectively. Incidence of biofilms presence on UTCs every other day during 4Wks., its appeared increases incidence of biofilms presence on UTCs by: (5±2%) every other days, and (18±2%) every weeks. Incidence of the main microbial growth degree of biofilms on UTCs segments, in short-term were (normal Pts. 25, 25, 00, and 00%) and (Diseased Pts. 50, 50, 25, and 00%) for 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th segments. In long-term were (normal Pts. 75, 50, 25, and 25%) and (diseased Pts. 100, 100, 75, and 50%) for 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th segments respectively. Incidence the main and types of isolated micro- organisms (MOs) from UTCs biofilms, MOs were isolated in short-term as 21, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 11, and 5%, while in long-term were 45, 32, 26, 23, 22, 20, 19, and 12% for E. coli, Candida albicans, Staph. epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staph. aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Proteus vulgaris respectively. The most efficient methods to prevent infections from UTCs biofilms are to avoid unnecessary catheterizations and to remove catheters as soon as possible. The use of hydrophilic-coated catheters for clean intermittent catheterization can effectively reduce microbial borne infections.
