Primary outcomePrimary: Bladder Colonization — 62 percentage of participants

Summary

The purpose of the research is to determine whether we can get harmless bacteria to live in the bladders of persons with spinal cord injury who practice intermittent bladder catheterization. We will also look at whether having the harmless bacteria in the bladder prevents urinary tract infections from occurring.
