Urinary tract infections caused by Proteus mirabilis
2023, Molecular Medical Microbiology, Third EditionAn in-situ infection detection sensor coating for urinary catheters
2016, Biosensors and BioelectronicsCitation Excerpt :In the US alone, ~30 million urinary catheters are fitted each year, making IUCs by far the most commonly deployed medical device, with levels of use far outstripping other common devices such as central venous catheters or fracture fixation devices (Darouiche, 2001). Although in many cases the use of IUCs can benefit patients and greatly aid treatment and recovery, these devices undermine the innate barriers to bacterial colonisation naturally present in the urinary tract, thus predisposing patients to infection by uropathogenic bacteria (Stickler and Zimakoff, 1994; Stickler, 2014). Given the widespread use of these devices, it is perhaps unsurprising that catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are currently among the most common nosocomial infections in many healthcare settings (Stickler, 2014; Jacobsen et al., 2008; Tambyah, 2004; Hooton et al., 2010; Getliffe and Newton, 2006).
