Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2007•cambridge.orgWe investigated whether insertion of urinary catheters that had been coated with
Escherichia coli HU2117 could establish bladder colonization with this nonvirulent
organism. Ten of 12 subjects were successfully colonized for 14 days or more. The rate of
symptomatic UTI during colonization was 0.15 per 100 patient-days.
