Abstract: Urinary tract infection is a major risk for people with urinary catheters. The risk and profile of the microorganismsinvolved can be influenced by poor hygiene in healthcare facilities as well as in the patient's home. The purpose ofthe present study was to determine the frequency and the profile of urinary tract infections etiological agents inpatients with indwelling catheters, requesting Cytobacteriological Examination of the Urine at the BacteriologyLaboratory of Centre Muraz.A total of 47 patients were enrolled in this study between June 01, 2020 and September 16, 2021. Among these, thesex-ratio was equal to 14.67 or 44 male and the average age was 66.91 with extremes of 25 years and 98 years. Thisstudy highlighted the fact that enterobacteria (in particular E. coli and K. pneumoniae) represent the major etiologicalagents of urinary tract infections in patients with indwelling catheters, with significant drug resistance casesassociated to Ceftriaxone, Amoxicillin-Clavulanate and Norfloxacin. These results highlight the high risk of urinary tract infection in indwelling tube carriers, especially in elderly malepatients. This risk also seems to be associated with antibiotic resistance and requires a strengthening of hygiene forits reduction but also for a quality diagnosis.
