Is Cirrohis Contagious?

brother has cirrohis and has developed a uti from catheter-say he is in isolation now and visitors need gloves masks and gowns. is this contagious as I have RA and brother in law has diabetes. Have been visiting him for days with no precautions--he has been unable to talk or move for days--sudden onset a few days ago and we assumed it was lactulose and were not aware this was suspected
