What are Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs)?
Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) are infections that occur in the urinary tract due to the prolonged use of a urinary catheter. These infections are often caused by bacteria or fungi that enter the urinary tract through the catheter. CAUTIs are among the most common healthcare-associated infections, particularly in hospitalized patients.
