Discussion

Prospective study finds 11% CAUTI prevalence in catheterized patients, highlighting biofilm formation and multidrug resistance.

CAUTI prevalence was found to be 11.45% among catheterized patients, predominantly affecting older individuals.
The most common pathogen, Escherichia coli, was identified in 45.45% of cases alongside significant antimicrobial resistance.
Among isolates, 54.54% exhibited biofilm formation, indicating a challenging aspect of treatment in CAUTI cases.
This work underscores the need for stringent monitoring of catheter use to mitigate CAUTI risk and related complications.

Sharma et al. (2025) studied this question.
