For catheterized dogs, the odds of UTI were increased by 20% for each year increase in age, 27% for each day increase in duration of catheterization, and 454% with antimicrobial administration. Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> and Proteus<\/jats:italic> spp were more frequently isolated from noncatheterized dogs, whereas Enterobacter<\/jats:italic> spp and Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic> spp were more frequently isolated from catheterized dogs. There was no significant difference in frequency of 1, 2, or 3 isolates between groups. Proportions of antimicrobials to which the most frequently isolated bacteria were resistant were not significantly different between groups.<\/jats:p>\nConclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Results suggested that urinary tract catheterization is a reasonable alternative for management of dogs with urinary bladder dysfunction, but that duration of catheterization should be minimized and indiscriminate antimicrobial administration to dogs with indwelling urinary catheters should be avoided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.231.6.893","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,15]],"date-time":"2007-09-15T19:24:15Z","timestamp":1189884255000},"page":"893-899","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":99,"title":["Frequency
