Urinary Tract Infection: Risk Factors. Persons with indwelling urinary catheters are at much higher risk of becoming sick with urinary tract infections. People with indwelling catheters have a 40x increased risk of becoming bacteremic (bacteria in the bloodstream) from a urinary infection than those who do not have catheters (1).
Abstract. 1  Urinary tract infection attributed to the use of an indwelling urinary catheter is one of the most common infections acquired by patients in health care facilities. As biofilm ultimately develops on all of these devices, the major determinant for development of bacteriuria is duration of catheterization.
