The awareness that CAUTI and catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria are distinct conditions is increasing, but unnecessary treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria remains quite prevalent.[journals.lww.com]
Thus, treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria should be avoided [ 24 ].[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In most cases, only mild signs of infection (redness, swelling, or localpain) were observed—presumably because catheter insertion sites were inspected daily and catheters were usually removed when signs of infection were first detected.[anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

Although catheter use should be minimized in all patients, particularly those at higher risk of CAUTI and mortality (e.g. the elderly or those with impaired immunity), [2] a meta analysis suggests there is insufficient evidence to determine the value[en.wikipedia.org]
Our results thus suggest that catheter insertion sites should be inspected daily because the time interval between the onset of symptoms and infection progression is usually less than 48 h.[anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]
Core prevention [ edit ] A number of combined practices such as improved hand hygiene, enhanced barrier protection and reduced catheter use when managing incontinence appear to reduce CAUTI. [1] Urinary catheters should be inserted using aseptic technique[en.wikipedia.org]

In the paper, the researchers show that a polyurethane coating that can be readily applied to various medically relevant surfaces and gradually releases a drug called auranofin can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcusaureus (MRSA) bacteria for nearly[brown.edu]
Other urease producing species include P. aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Morganella morganii, other Proteus species, some Providencia spp and some strains of Staphylococcusaureus and coagulase negative staphylococci.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The tests also showed that the coating could prevent the formation of MRSA biofilms, which, once established, are especially resilient to antimicrobial treatment.[brown.edu]
Thus, treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria should be avoided [ 24 ].[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
