摘要
In this study, the in vitro adherence capabilities of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans clinical isolates to urinary catheters were investigated. Quantitative analysis was performed by colony-forming unit counts and scanning electron microscopy. Results demonstrated that the adherence of P aeruginosa to urinary catheters was enhanced in the presence of C. albicans, while C. albicans adherence was not significantly affected. Further investigations are warranted to fully understand the pathogenic potential of their interaction in order to aid in the design of novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of catheter-related UTIs.
