E. coli in catheter-related urinary infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at bacteria (E. coli) in patients with catheter-related urinary tract infections. It aims to understand the types and genetics of the bacteria to improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a urinary catheter that has been in place for more than 2 days.
- You have a fever or tenderness in your lower belly.
- Your urine culture shows a high number of bacteria (over 100,000 CFU per milliliter).
- You do not have a recent UTI (within the last 48 hours).

This study collects and studies bacteria (E. coli) found in urine from people with urinary tract infections, including those with repeat infections. It may help improve how doctors understand these infections and choose better future treatments.
This study looks at bacteria in urine samples from people who get frequent urinary tract infections and have a certain type of catheter. It aims to learn why some bacteria are hard to treat and may help improve care for patients like you.
This trial tests if a special infection control program can reduce infections in patients with urinary catheters in the hospital. It may help prevent catheter-related infections during your stay.
This trial tests whether the antibiotic cefotetan works as well as or better than standard treatments for E. coli bloodstream infections. You may be eligible if you have a confirmed E. coli infection in your blood that started in your urinary or genital area, and you have just started antibiotics in the hospital.
This study looks at the genetic diversity of a specific type of antibiotic-resistant E. coli bacteria found in southern France. It does not involve any new treatments for patients and only uses existing bacterial samples.
This study looks at urine infections caused by certain resistant bacteria. If you had a UTI treated by your family doctor between June and December 2024, your doctor may help us learn more about these infections and how to treat them better.
