18 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine the microbial colonization of urinary catheters that have been used by patients, to model catheter colonization in vitro and thus provide information about the way bacteria gain access to the bladder during catheterization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Microbial growth patterns from patients' indwelling catheters and from catheters used in an in vitro model of the catheterized urinary tract were...
