			<p>Catheter associated urinary tract infection is one of the major causes of health care
associated infection. Due to serious ailments, intensive care unit patients are more
prone to have health care associated infections. Patients staying more than 2 days in
surgical intensive care unit were included in this study. Urine samples were
processed from those patients and cases with urinary tract infection were
established on the basis of clinical and microbiological findings. Number of cases
with urinary tract infection were 21 (6%). Maximum number of isolates was
Escherichia coli (28.57%). All isolates were multidrug resistant. Following simple
and well-established guidelines regarding device associated infections and
preventing indiscriminate use of antibiotics can control catheter associated urinary
tract infection.</p>
