| Research Abstract |
It is required to improve the quality of life and evidence-based infection control measures of long-term urinary catheterized patients. In this study, molecular epidemiological analyses revealed identical bacteria isolated from different body sites of each individual and the possibility of cross-infection from patient to patient. The consumption of cranberry juice could prevent symptomatic urinary infections due to reduced pyuria and prevented encrustation and blockage of urinary catheters. It is important that the comprehensive infection control measures based on compliance with standard precautions were implemented for long-term urinary catheterized patients.
