Cells lining a healthy urethra provide two levels of defense against invading bacteria^2,3:

A physical barrier stops bacteria from invading.
Immunological molecules destroy bacteria, remove infected cells and prevent adhesion to the cell wall.

;

Damage from repeated catheter use can weaken the urethral defense, increasing the risk of UTIs.^5,6

Repeated catheter use causes irritation and damage to the soft urethral tissue
This irritation allows bacteria to colonize the space created between cells causing UTIs
