PURPOSE: To obtain a urine specimen from the tubing of a patient's urethral or suprapubic catheter Pathophysiology / EBP: Patients who have indwelling urethral or suprapubic catheters have urine which is colonized after 48 to 72 hours with bacteria, often multiple types. The urethral catheter tubing and bag also becomes colonized by bacteria which is usually found in a biofilm which lines the surfaces of the tubing and bag. Patients with suspected UTI and a urinary catheter in place for longer than 2 weeks should have the catheter replaced prior to collecting urine for culture and antimicrobial treatment.
