    abstract = {CAUTI is the most prevalent nosocomial
infections, especially in patients with medical ICU. The
purpose of this study is to determine the independent risk
factors for catheter-associated bacteria in the medical ICU
such as age, sex, period of catheterization, length of stay
in the hospital and antibiotic exposure during
hospitalization. The 25% of hospitalized patients undergo
urinary catheterisation and the incidence of infection is
approximately 5-7% for each day of catheterisation. Out
of the 196 patients 30 (15.30 %) patients were detected to
have CAUTI. Catheterisation period was established as
the most important independent risk factor for CAB and
prior antibiotic exposure was not found to be a protective
factor.}
