Bladder antibiotics
Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2019 8:30 am
Hi all, I continue to lurk since my C diff infection over two years ago. Some of you might recall that I am a quadriplegic so I have a few unique aspects to my constant fear of individuals C diff return.
I have an indwelling catheter, which is always a possible source of infection. I'm sure that I always straddle the line of infection, which I mitigate with probiotics, cranberry supplements, and slamming water. I was considering trying a silver-coated catheter for its antimicrobial benefits. Would anyone be willing to project whether its antibacterial performance could reach into gut flora?
