Prevalence, risk factors and causative organisms of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy

Abstract: Background: Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is a relatively common condition occurring due to the morphological and physiological changes in the genitourinary tract during pregnancy. If left untreated, it may lead to acute pyelonephritis and adverse fetal and maternal outcomes. The objective was to determine prevalence, risk factors and etiological agents with susceptibility for ASB among pregnant women attending an antenatal clinic at a tertiary care hospital, Odisha, India.Methods: A prospective study with 20… Show more

“…Antibiotic sensitivity testing showed that all the isolates were sensitive to imipenam which is in line with studies by Sujatha [16][17][18][19]25 Among the gram positive isolates, all isolates were 100% sensitive to cefepime, vancomycin, linezolid, imipenam and nitrofurantoin. Studies by Patnaik et al and Bose et al, reported similar results, the increase in antibiotic resistance patterns were may be due to self medication and antibiotic abuse.…”

“…In present study, prevalence of ASB is 9.2% which correlates with studies done by Sujatha R et al, [16] . 19,21,17 In present study Escherichia coli was the predominant isolate accounting 56.5%, similar results were reported by Sujatha [16][17][18]21,19,23 A study from Nigeria showed Staphylococcus aureus (72%) as commonest isolate and E. coli being the least (2%). 24 The organisms isolated can be faecal in origin colonizing in the periurethral area.…”

“…3,4 The present study revealed Escherichia coli as the predominant isolate from urine samples of female patients, which well correlates with many studies. [3][4][5][8][9][10][11][12] The age group wise distribution showed that Escherichia coli isolates were mostly prevalent in adult age group (21-40 years), which also correlates well with the studies conducted by Patnaik M et al, Oli A N et al and Arora G et al 2,4,13 The antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Escherichia coli in this study showed very good sensitivity towards Amikacin, Tigecycline, Meropenem, Fosfomycin, Imipenem, Ertapenem, Piperacillin-tazobactam, Nitrofurantoin, Gentamicin and Tobramycin, whereas showed moderate sensitivity towards Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Cefepime, Cefazolin, Ceftazidime, Ceftriaxone, Aztreonam and Trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole and showed low sensitivity towards Amoxycillin-clavulinic acid and Ampicillin.…”
