Abstract

The incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was 9.3%. • More number of cases seen in Primi which is statistically significant compared to Multi gravida. • The younger age groups had the highest incidence Bacteriuria. • E.Coli as most common organism among the uropathogens in culture sensitivity. • 92.8% were positive to urine protein and 100% were positive to urine pus cells. • 71.4% majority of the pregnant women were anaemic in Bacteriuria. • 57.1% had Pre term delivery among Bacteriuria pregnant women. • 35.7% pregnant women had babies with low birth weight. • The sensitivity of E.coli to ampicillin was found to be 71% in this investigation. CONCLUSION: Based on the above observation, the possible consequences of untreated Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in pregnant women, all pregnant women should be checked. Because of the negative impact of undiagnosed asymptomatic bacteriuria on mother and child, we recommend routine urine culture screening for all pregnant women attending prenatal clinics in order to protect mother and child from infection-related complications. As a result, antibiotic sensitivity patterns should be considered to choose therapy, as improper therapy can lead to treatment failure and recurrence, both of which can be dangerous.
