In this cross-sectional study, it’s aimed to evaluate fungal and bacterial colonization and related risk factors in patients with transient urinary catheterization. Microorganisms yielded in the catheter lumen and urine those sampled from intra-catheter and simultaneous urine samples and related risk factors were evaluated. Study was conducted in General Surgery, Urology, Orthopedics and Traumatology, Gynecology and Obstetrics wards of Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine Training, Research and Practice Hospital, in patients who underwent temporary urinary catheterization during the 3-month study period. Patients with clinical signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection during hospitalization were excluded from the study. Demographic data of the patients were recorded. The microorganisms were identified with mini API device. The data were evaluated by SPSS 15.0 statistical program, p <0.05 values were considered significant. One hundred and twenty-nine patients underwent transient urinary catheterization were enrolled in this study. Urine culture and/or intraluminary swab cultures were positive in 56 (%43.4) patients whom enrolled the study. Seventy three (56.6%) of patients were culture negative. Bivariate analysis showed statistically significant relation between female gender, prolonged duration of catheterization, urgent-elective catheterization, person performing catheterization, previously urinary procedures, and presence of diabetes and microorganism isolation in urine and/or intraluminary swab cultures (p < 0.05). Therefore in logistic regression model, female gender (OR=2.730) and duration of catheterization longer than 7 days (OR= 3.232) were found as important risk factors for microorganism isolation in urine and/or intraluminary swab cultures (p< 0.05). Though the relation between intraluminary microorganism colonization and NUTIs is not clearly established, it may lead bacteriuria. Identifying risk factors can be useful in preventing colonization and other complications. In patients with catheter associated urinary tract infection and not responding adequate antimicrobial therapy, it may be considered to discontinue urinary catheterization or change urinary catheter.
