A member asked:

My mom is 71 years old and has been bedbound for a year with a cath, her urine was tested and she has pseudomonas aeruginosa, type treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptoms?: The catheter essentially externalizes the bladder and bacteria will colonize it. As a rule, no therapy is needed unless fever or other signs or symptoms of infection ensue.
