To describe an indwelling urethral catheter coated with gentamicin sulphate on the inner and outer surface of the catheter, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this catheter in preventing catheter-associated infections in rabbits. Materials and methods Sixty rabbits were divided equally into control and experimental groups which were then subdivided equally according to the duration of catheterization (1, 3 and 5 days). Silicone-treated latex catheters were used in the control group and gentamicin-releasing catheters in the experimental group. Urine samples and surface swabs from the catheter were cultured for bacteriological assessment, and the catheter surface examined by scanning electron microscopy to structurally analyse the biofilms.
