Presentation
Fever without localizing findings is the usual presentation of CA-UTI. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Categorical variables are presented as absolute and relative frequencies, respectively. Two-sided P values 0.05 or less were considered statistically significant. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

Signs of infections were reported by pain nurses or physicians during postoperative ward rounds. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

Asymptomatic
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]
-
Inflammation
Non-infectious complications attributed to an indwelling urinary catheter include nonbacterial urethral inflammation, urethral strictures, mechanical trauma, and mobility impairment [ 29, 30 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There were also differences in definitions of infection and inflammation, patient population, preventive hygiene measures, and probably many unknown factors. [anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.org]

Swelling
In most cases, only mild signs of infection (redness, swelling, or local pain) 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]

Microbiology

Pseudomonas
Other Enterobacteriaceae as well as Enterococci spp, coagulase negative Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, other non-fermenters, and Candida spp are also frequently isolated [ 24 ]. Antimicrobial-resistant organisms are common. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Staphylococcus Aureus
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 Staphylococcus aureus (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 Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase negative staphylococci. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Candida
However, Enterococcus spp (28.4%) and Candida spp (19.7%) were reported to be most common at one US tertiary care academic centre [ 38 ]. [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]

This helps to prevent germs from getting into the catheter tube. The catheter is secured to the leg to prevent pulling on the catheter. Avoid twisting or kinking the catheter. [chkd.org]
Those experiments showed that the coatings prevent any trace of biofilm. [brown.edu]
