| Description | Urinary catheters are colonized by a wide range of microorganisms, including numerous yeasts. The catheters are usually colonized by more microbial species forming a community – multi-species biofilm. Catheter colonization usually does not affect the patient’s clinical status in any significant way. On the other hand, the biofilm can become a source of endogenous infection and its presence can affect functionality of the catheter and formation of urinary stones. |
