Article Abstract
Prophylaxis with TMP-SMX significantly reduces bacteriuria and symptomatic urinary tract infection in persons with recent acute spinal cord injury during bladder retraining using intermittent catheterization.However, adverse reactions attributable to TMP-SMX are common in this population. Colonization and breakthrough bacteriuria with TMP-SMX-resistant organisms are frequent and may seriously limit the usefulness of this strategy, particularly in an institutional setting.
