Median duration of follow-up post-discharge was 209 days (range, 11-2184 days), with a total of 143 urine cultures performed in cats post-discharge. Of these, 16 (11%) were positive in 12\/48 (25%) cats. Nine different bacteria were identified; Enterococcus spp. (n\u2009=\u20098) predominated as monomicrobic or mixed infections. In 14\/16 instances of positive urine cultures, affected cats had lower urinary tract signs, signs of pyelonephritis or both. Cats that received antibiotics postoperatively were significantly less likely to have a positive urine culture compared to those that did not (odds ratio, 0.2, 95% confidence interval, 0.05, 0.8, P\u2009=\u20090.02). Chronic kidney disease, renal implant type and postoperative urinary catheterization were not associated with positive urine cultures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Postoperatively, occurrence of positive urine cultures was similar to previous reports.
