“…10,11 Though the prevalence estimated is higher than few studies conducted in India which may be due to differences in composition of the population being catered to by this hospital. 12,13 In the current study, ABU was not found to have a statistically significant relation with age, haemoglobin level, parity, gestational period, education, residence or socioeconomic status even though different studies have found an association with some of these factors. This could be due to differences in population characteristics in terms of education and hygiene.…”

“…This finding is similar to multiple other studies as most studies have found E. Coli to be the most common pathogen responsible for ABU. 12,16,17 The second most common pathogen responsible for ABU in our study was S. Aureus which has also been identified in multiple studies. 14,18 Among gram-negative organisms, it was followed by K. pneumonia, Pseudomonas and Proteus which contributed to 12.5%, 6.2% and 4% isolates respectively.…”

“…Several factors play a role in the development of ABU such as the number of pregnancies, physiological and anatomical changes, and poor genital hygiene. Being isolated from their samples to stop fetal and maternal morbidities, bacteria should be taken into consideration with its antimicrobial sensitivity patterns while treating the positive urine cultures of women (15). In pregnant women, progesterone relaxes uteretic smooth muscle, which causes dilatation of the uterus caused by the pressure from the enlarging uterus.…”
