Measure
Gentamicin
Participants will be randomized into one of three groups. In this arm, participants will perform bladder instillations using a 50ml solution of gentamicin mixed with saline, 2 times per day. A formulation derived from 480 mg gentamicin sulfate diluted in 1 L normal saline will be used for instillation. Participants will be blinded during the study and will not know if they are receiving gentamicin or placebo (saline alone). Gentamicin Sulfate: Gentamicin will be compounded for immediate use in single-dose, disposable BD 50ml Luer-Lok tip syringes. The container closure system for the diluted gentamicin sulfate solution and saline solution will be sterile and processed with depyrogenation. The solution will be slowly infused into the bladder after drainage of urine is complete. While monitoring blood pressure, the solution will remain in the participant's bladder for a least 30 minutes (unless the participant is experiencing autonomic dysreflexia, and in that case, immediately drained) with the goal of attaining 2 hours.
Placebo Instillation (Saline Alone)
Participants will be randomized into one of three groups. In this arm, participants will perform bladder instillations using a 50ml solution of saline alone. Participants will be blinded during the study and will not know if they are receiving gentamicin or placebo (saline alone). Placebo instillation (saline alone): Saline will be compounded for immediate use in single-dose, disposable BD 50ml Luer-Lok tip syringes.

While monitoring blood pressure, the solution will remain in the participant's bladder for a least 30 minutes (unless the participant is experiencing autonomic dysreflexia, and in that case, immediately drained) with the goal of attaining 2 hours.
No Instillation
Participants will be randomized into one of three groups. In this arm participants will not receive an instillation of gentamicin or saline alone, but instead will continue standard of care. Participants will be assessed at the pre-, mid- and post-intervention time points. No instillation: Participants will not receive an instillation of gentamicin or saline alone, but instead will continue standard of care. Participants will be assessed at the pre-, mid- and post-intervention time points.
