“…Females are 4.2 times more likely than males to be diagnosed with a UTI [8]. As CAUTI is related to hospital-acquired infection, a study demonstrated that the patients could be divided into four groups based on their age: under 65, 65-74, 75-84, and ≥85 [9]; whereas UTIs and gastrointestinal infections were shown to be more prevalent in patients over the age of 75 [10]. The complications of CAUTI can be both infectious and non-infectious.…”

Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by uropathogens has put global public health at its utmost risk, especially in developing countries where people are unaware of personal hygiene and proper medication. In general, the infection frequently occurs in the urethra, bladder, and kidney, as reported by the physician. Moreover, many UTI patients whose acquired disorder from the hospital or health-care center has been addressed previously have been referred to as catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI). Meanwhile, the bacterial biofilm triggering UTI is another critical issue, mostly by catheter insertion. In most cases, the biofilm inhibits the action of antibiotics against the UTI-causing bacteria. Therefore, new therapeutic tools should be implemented to eliminate the widespread multidrug resistance (MDR) UTI-causing bacteria. Based on the facts, the present review emphasized the current status of CAUTI, its causative agent, clinical manifestation, and treatment complications. This review also delineated a model of phage therapy as a new therapeutic means against bacterial biofilm-originated UTI. The model illustrated the entire mechanism of destroying the extracellular plyometric substances of UTI-causing bacteria with several enzymatic actions produced by phage particles. This review will provide a complete outline of CAUTI for the general reader and create a positive vibe for the researchers to sort out alternative remedies against the CAUTI-causing MDR microbial agents.

“…In the United State of America, 100,000 people die annually (10) Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections are the most common healthcare-associated infection and increase medical costs by $340 million up to $1.7 billion each year (11) and patients' discomfort and more than 13,000 hospital deaths per year according to Center for disease control and prevention report (12).…”

Introduction: Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections have been highly associated with patient discomfort, increased hospitalization and healthcare costs, morbidity and mortality. Lack of knowledge and practice among nurses regarding basic infection control protocols could lead to hospital-acquired infections. Therefore, this study aimed to assess knowledge, practice and associated factors of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections prevention among nurses working at referral hospitals in the West Oromia region, Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 423 nurses at five referral hospitals of the West Oromia region from May1-20, 2022. A simple random sampling technique was used to select nurses. A pre-tested and structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data, and then coded and entered into EPI- Data version 4.6; cleaned and analyzed using Stata version 16.0. All variables with P-value < 0.25 in the binary logistic regression analyses were included in the multivariable regression analysis. The degree of the association was interpreted by using the adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals, and the significance level was declared at P-value < 0.05. The Hosmer–Lemeshow test was checked for the fitness of the model. Results: Among 423 nurses, 411(97.2%) nurses participated. This study found that the knowledge and practice of nurses toward preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections was 57.9% with 95% CI (53.1, 62.6) and 54.5% with 95% CI (49.6, 59.3) respectively. Good knowledge was significantly associated with working experience [AOR = 2.8, 95% CI (1.5, 5)], training [AOR = 2.1, 95% CI (1.04, 4.2)] and had guideline [AOR = 2.6, 95% CI (1.3, 5.4)]. Good practice was significantly associated with the work experience [AOR = 2, 95%CI (1.05, 4.05)], guideline [AOR = 2.3, 95% CI (1.02, 5.2)], training [AOR = 2.3, 95% CI (1.06, 5.1)] and good knowledge [AOR = 8.7, 95% CI (5.1, 14.8)]. Conclusion: This study showed that more than half of nurses had good knowledge and good practice regarding preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and were significantly associated with work experience, training and guideline.
