Wiping from the rectum to the urethra can actually spread bacteria from the fecal matter to the urinary tract, increasing the risk of infection. This behavior does not control portals of entry, but rather increases the likelihood of infection. Providing skin care, providing good oral hygiene, and keeping linens dry and wrinkle-free can all help control portals of entry by reducing the likelihood of bacteria entering the body through cuts, abrasions, or other openings in the skin.
