Molecular Insights into the Uropathogenesis of Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli in the Context of Urinary Catheterization
Nosocomial urinary tract infections: UTIs) are a very common result of catheterization with 3 to 7% risk of developing catheter-associated UTIs: CAUTIs) each day catheterized. As multi-drug resistance increases in uropathogens, it is imperative to better understand the effects of catheterization on …

In Vivo Forces of Male Urethral Catheterization
… to capture force profiles of (n=16) urethral catheterizations of (n=12) unique older (52-92 years) living male patients by a single urologist under IRB 00003363. Across all catheterizations, insertion force range was found to be 81.2gf (0.796N) to 509gf (4.99N). The resulting mean was 185gf …
