Isolate Distribution in (a) urine culture and (b) catheter culture. Candida sp. were found as the dominant microbes in the urine with a percentage of 43%, followed by E. coli at 12%, E. faecalis at 9%, K. pneumoniae at 13%, and other microbes at 23% (1(a)). E. coli was the dominant microbes in the catheter as monomicrobial or polymicrobial. B. cepacia was also found in the catheter but not found in the urine (1(b)).
