Abstract
Patients with urological disorders have specific concerns relating to catheter associated urinary tract infections. A review of the available literature as well as common clinical practice provides directives for the treatment of these patients in a specific and distinctive fashion to reduce the risk of infection. By understanding the needs and technical modifications necessary in these patients, hospital systems and practitioners can limit patient exposure to catheter associated urinary tract infections.
