Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infectious conditions in medicine. In particular, urinary tract infection in patients with urinary catheters is often difficult to control because it does not show many clinical symptoms, especially in cases of urinary tract infection due to post-operative catheterization.

A urinary catheter is used to help urine pass out of the body when a patient cannot urinate on their own. There are many reasons why a patient may be prescribed a urinary catheter, such as after surgery, cancer treatment, or a blockage in the urethra. Because the catheter is inserted directly from the outside of the body into the bladder, bacteria can enter the body and cause a urinary tract infection. So how should a patient with a urinary catheter be cared for?
