“…(20; 22; 23). Echerichia coli was the most prevalent etiological agent in this study which agrees with the report of (22). The high rate of Escherichia coli infection could be attributed to its commensal nature in the intestinal tract and consequent faecal contamination due to poor hygiene.…”

“…In conformity with another previous study (21), Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the predominantly isolated microorganisms. The other isolated bacteria include S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and Proteus species that are less common causes of UTI, unless if introduced iatrogenically (17,24).…”

Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the major causes of morbidity in pregnant women because of physiological changes during pregnancy and, if unattended to may cause severe complications to mother and foetus. Asymptomatic urinary tract infections (AUTI) can be important predictors for pathogenesis of UTI. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of AUTI among pregnant women using rapid dipstick and routine culture methods to assess antimicrobial resistance patterns of isolated pathogens.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Using non-probability convenience sampling technique, a total of 202 pregnant women attending Antinatal Care (ANC) were recruited. Mid-stream urine was collected and subjected to rapid dipstick and urine culture media. Antibacterial susceptibility tests were conducted against the bacteria. Risk factors for AUTI and demographic data were obtained using pretested questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS Vs. 20 software package. Results:Of the 202 pregnant women, 47 (23.3%) had AUTI. Age ranged from 15-45 years with a median of 26±3.0 years. The main uropathogens were Escherichia coli (E.coli) 22(46.8%). The dipstick test had sensitivity of 79.2% and specificity of 63.6%. Seventy-three percent of E. coli were resistant to ampicillin and 86% to erythromycin. The prevalence rate of antibiotic resistance among the isolated bacteria ranged from 73 to100%. Conclusion:Prevalent uropathogens among bacteria isolated from pregnant women with AUTI were Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. High antibiotic resistance were observed among the bacteria. About 23% of pregnant women had AUTI. We advocate for regular culture of urine to be performed because of the lower sensitivity of dipstick test.

“…The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria does not change during pregnancy but there is change in pathogenesis, which keeps mother and baby at risk of complications due to urinary tract infection [1]. The prevalence proportion reported in this study ranged between 19.1% to 23.9% and agreed with studies done in Tanzania, Ibadan and sagamu which reported prevalence of 21.0%,21.0% and 23.9% respectively [18, 19]. This was however higher than a study done in Kano that found prevalence at 10.2% [20].…”

IntroductionAsymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the presence of bacteria in urine without apparent symptoms of urinary tract infections. The importance of asymptomatic bacteriuria lies in the insight it provides into symptomatic infections. To determine prevalence, bacterial isolates and Antibiotic Sensitivity Profile of asymptomatic bacterial urinary tract infection in pregnant women in selected clinics in Nairobi.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study involving women attending antenatal clinic at selected clinics of Nairobi County. The women who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The midstream urine samples of these women were subjected to microscopy, culture and sensitivity.ResultsA total of 1020 of women on their first antenatal clinic visit participated in the study; 219 of them had ASB, giving a prevalence of 21.5 % at 95% confidence level. Escherichia coli were the common organism isolated at 38.8%. The majority of the organisms were sensitive to imipenem and gentamycin.ConclusionThere is a high prevalence of ASB among pregnant women included in the study from the Nairobi county clinics. Therefore, routine ASB screening of pregnant women is recommended among the women attending antennal clinics in Nairobi county clinics.
