A member asked:
If urine that had an uti got into an open wound, would the wound get infected?

Not usually: Not necessarily. The bacteria that infect skin and urine are often not the same. Still would not advise this.

It may...: Many people with incontinence have pressure ulcers as well. These can become infected if the urine stay on the wound.
