Abstract

In 57 hospitalized patients with temporary closed sterile urinary-catheter drainage, incidence of acquired bacteriuria was evaluated by culture, colony count, drug sensitivity and the following results were obtained. 1. Incidence of infection was 0% within 3 days, 18.2%o within 5 days, 41.7% within 7 days, 60.9%0 after 7 days. 2. Of 117 bacterial strains isolated by culture of urine 82.1%o was gram negative bacteria and 17.1%o was gram positive. The frequency of isolated organisms were as followings: Escherichia coli ............. 44.4%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ............. 19.7%, Staphylococci ............. 14.5%, Caliform bacilli ............. 9.5%, Proteus ............. 6.8%, Streptococci ............. 4.2%, Yeast ............. 0.9%. 3. Most organisms were highly resistant to any of antibiotics which were Kanamycin, Gentamicin, Ampicillin, Streptomycin, Tetracycline, Cephoran, Geopen, Amiktam. 4. Closed sterile drainage system was much effective in delaying bacteriuria than open drainage system in comparison with 70.8% of bacteriuria within the first 3 days of open catheter drainage demonstrated in previous report.
