Exeter # CathExe - Preventing biofilm formation on urinary catheters. # In the National Health Service (NHS) 1 in 5 hospital patients are catheterised, with this increasing to 70% in critical care units. Catheter usage is the predominant risk factor for 70-80% of urinary tract infections (UTIs) - these are referred to as catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs). 国立保健サービス(NHS)では、5人に1人の入院患者がカテーテルを使用し、これが集中治療室では70％に増加しています。カテーテルの使用は、尿路感染症(UTI)の70〜80％の主要なリスク要因で、これらはカテーテル関連尿路感染症(CAUTI)と呼ばれています。 reference: iGEM Exeter Team Information iGEM Exeter Wiki
