Abstract
Double-J ureteral stents represent a minimally invasive alternative to preserve urinary drainage whenever ureteral patency is deteriorated or is under a significant risk to be occluded due to extrinsic or intrinsic etiologies. Like all synthetic medical intracavitary devices, Double-J ureteral stent also offers a suitable surface for microbial colonization by biofilm forming microorganisms. Recognizing the colonization is very important for prevention of bacteremia during manipulation As microbial ureteral stent colonization does not necessarily lead to bacteriuria, negative urine culture does not rule out biofilm formation, hence urine culture has a low predictive value for ureteral stent colonization
