Coating Urinary Catheters with an Avirulent Strain of Escherichia coli as a Means to Establish Asymptomatic Colonization
Open accessAbstract
We investigated whether insertion of urinary catheters that had been coated with Escherichia coli HU2117 could establish bladder colonization with this nonvirulent organism. Ten of 12 subjects were successfully colonized for 14 days or more. The rate of symptomatic UTI during colonization was 0.15 per 100 patient-days.

Ten of 12 subjects (83%) were successfully colonized with E. coli HU2117 for 14 days or more (range 15-165 days) after catheter insertion.
“Ten (83 %) out of 12 subjects were successfully colonized with E. coli HU2117 for 14 d or more (range, 15–165 d) after inoculation by insertion of the catheter.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
