“…Studies have revealed that antibiotic regimens have not shown any decrease in these complications and have imposed a huge financial burden on society. 12 Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria have or develop the ability to circumvent the mechanism, which drugs use against them. 13 The resistance of uropathogenic bacteria against antimicrobials is rising globally over time.…”

Objectives This study aimed to determine the prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTI) in pregnant women and characterise the uropathogenic bacterial strains associated with symptomatic and asymptomatic bacteriuria in Lahore, Pakistan. Methods Between December 2018 and June 2019, we analysed the uropathogenic bacterial strains from midstream urine samples in 80 pregnant women. The age of the pregnant women ranged from 19 to 45 years, and they resided in urban and rural areas. We also recorded socioeconomic factors in this cohort. The isolated strains were phenotypically identified and evaluated for multiple drug resistance (MDR) patterns against recommended antimicrobial drugs. Results Of the 80 pregnant women, 65 had UTI, reflecting an 81% prevalence of UTI in women during pregnancy. The majority of participants aged 24–35 years, were multipara, and were in their third trimester. Results showed that 67 uropathogenic bacterial strains belonged to Escherichia (31%), Klebsiella (23%), Pseudomonas (16%), Streptococcus (4%), Enterococcus (4%), Staphylococcus (4%), and Proteus (3%) genera, as identified using biochemical characterisation. The highest overall resistance of Escherichia was seen against amoxicillin, pipemidic acid, and ampicillin; for Klebsiella against pipemidic acid, ampicillin, and cefotaxime; and for Pseudomonas against ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime. The three strains with the highest MDR were identified using 16S rRNA as Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain UA17, Escherichia coli strain UA32, and Klebsiella pneumoniae strain UA47. Conclusion In this study, the MDR uropathogenic strains showed the highest resistance pattern. The alarming signs of MDR uropathogenic infections are infrequently addressed and thus, urgent attention to this matter is essential.

“…It is estimated that 25% of women get urinary tract infections at least once in their lifetime [ 3 ] [ 4 ]. The prevalence rate of UTI in pregnant women is 7.2–10.4%, and approximately 20–40% of pregnant women with UTI will develop symptomatic UTI if left untreated [ 5 ]. There is evidence that UTI is the main cause of adverse maternal outcomes and obstetrical hospitalization during pregnancy.…”

Objective Urinary tract infection (UTI) is assumed to be associated with the risk of fetal and maternal mortality and morbidity during pregnancy. The potential effect of health literacy and self-efficacy on UTI preventive behaviors among pregnant women has not yet been fully studied. Our objectives were to determine the level of health literacy, self-efficacy, and UTI prevention behaviors in pregnant women, and whether health literacy and self-efficacy are associated with UTI prevention behaviors in pregnant women. Design A cross-sectional study was conducted, from November 2020 to December 2020, through a multi-stage sampling design on 235 pregnant women aged between 18 and 42 years in Mashhad, Iran. Data were collected through valid and reliable questionnaires including the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (TOFHLA), General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (GSE), and research made-preventive behaviors recommendations for UTI disease. Results The level of UTI prevention behaviors scores is moderate (71.39 ± 8.58) among women during their pregnancy. Insufficient health literacy and self-efficacy were observed in 53.6% and 59.3% of participants, respectively. The regression model highlighted that 21.20% of the total variance of UTI preventive behaviors was predicted by sociodemographic characteristics, while 40.81% of the variance of UTI preventive behaviors was predicted by health literacy and self-efficacy. Conclusion It has been observed that health literacy and self-efficacy are main determinants to improve UTI preventive behaviors. Focusing on an intervention based on health literacy skills may be a practical strategy to promote a healthy lifestyle in this population.
