“…Prevalence of ASB in Libya, in all women was 8.3%, in pregnant women was 11.7%, and in non-pregnant women was 5%, This indicates, 16.7% of pregnant women were at risk of development of acute episode of UTI during pregnancy if they were not properly treated. Study in Libya (16) found significantly high relation between age & Bacteriuria and revealed, Bacteriuria in women was commonest in age group of 25-30 years (62.5%) and these result agreed with study by Buzayan MM in Libya [17] , but contrast with study in Yemen, that observed Bacteriuria was more in age group of 15-24 years (53.7%) [18] . this difference may be due to social factors like early age of marriage and sexual activity.…”

“…aero were not isolated here. In Libyan study [16] most frequent isolates were S. aureus (31.2%), E.coli (25%), S. saprophyticus(18.9%) etc, whereas another Libyan study found, Bacteriuria in pregnant women caused by E.coli was 65.5% and K. pneumo. 20.7% [17] and Al Haddad AM et al [18] found E. coli was most frequently isolated 41.5%, followed by S. aureus 19.5%, Study by V.P.…”

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by presence and growth of microorganisms anywhere in UT, which is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Most cases of UTIs are caused by Enterobacteriacea especially Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella species and Enterobacter species. The study ascertained the incidence of Bacteriuria in pregnant women with special reference to E. coli. This prospective longitudinal study was carried out over a period of two years in Nair Hospital, Mumbai, Subjects were 3000 married pregnant women and 300 non-pregnant women. Collection, transportation and Culturing of urine samples was carried out by standard procedures. Identification of the isolate was done on the basis of morphological, cultural characteristics and Rapid Biochemical Identification Kit. E. coli strains were identified by motility and KB003 Hi25 TM Enterobactriaceae Identification Kit. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of hundred and eleven E. coli isolates obtained from urine samples was carried out by Kirby -Bauer disk diffusion method, E. coli was the principal pathogen in pregnant and in non-pregnant women, both, Among the E. coli isolates, 84% were sensitive to Piperacillin + Tazobactum followed by to Nitrofurantoin (73%). Around 50% of these strains were found to be sensitive to Norfloxacin, Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime and Amikacin while remaining were found to be resistant to Ampicillin, Augmentin, Nalidixic acid, Cephalexin, and Cefuroxime. In order to prevent development of resistance, antibiotic susceptibility patterns must be continuously and periodically evaluated to select the appropriate regimen to treat UTI and to avoid complications in pregnancy.

Background: Bacteriuria is defined as the presence of bacteria in urine without the accompanying signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection. The most common bacterium causing bacteriuria is E. coli. About 1-5% of healthy premenopausal women and 1.9-9.5% of pregnant women have bacteriuria. The most effective drugs based on urine culture results were Nitrofurantoin (98.3%), followed by Cefuroxime (89.3%) and Cotrimoxazole (20%). Aim and objectives: To identify the distribution of bacteria according to drug resistance among adult women with bacteriuria in Samara city, Iraq, and to determine certain influencing factors. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on adult women (18-44 years) attending Samara General Hospital. Demographic information and investigation results were obtained and reported using an appropriate questionnaire. A patient with asymptomatic bacteriuria was identified when one species of bacteria grew in the urine with at least 100,000 colony-forming units (CFUs) per milliliter, regardless of the presence of pyuria, even in the absence of any UTI symptoms. Frequencies (number of cases) and percentages were used to statistically describe the data where appropriate. Comparison between the study groups was performed using the Chi-square (χ2) test. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The frequency of bacterial growth in the sample was 19%. The highest frequency of cases was among the age group 28-37 years (22.4%). Positive cases were more prevalent among pregnant women (21.4%) than non-pregnant women (13.3%). Staphylococcus was the most frequently identified bacterium (42%), followed by E. coli (39%), Klebsiella (11%), and Streptococcus (8%). The drug with the highest sensitivity to bacterial growth was Amikacin, followed by Meropenem. Conclusions: The frequency of bacterial growth was 19%. The most frequently isolated bacteria from the culture were Staphylococcus, followed by E. coli. The most sensitive drug was Amikacin, followed by Meropenem.
