Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a major bacterial infection causing serious health problem in pregnant women. The physiological and anatomical changes in pregnancy facilitate urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy. Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy is associated with pyelonephritis, preterm labour and low birth weight infants. The study was designed to characterise phenotypically and genetically the major organism associated with UTI among pregnant women in Osun State. A cross-sectional study design was used to collect mid-stream urine samples between March 2018 to September 2018 from 150 pregnant and 50 non-pregnant women which serve as control. Samples were inoculated into Cysteine Lactose Electrolyte Deficient (CLED) medium, subcultured onto MacConkey and Blood agar plates. A standard agar disc diffusion method was used to determine antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolates and the molecular detection of the antibiotic resistant genes were done. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics. The ages of women enrolled in this study ranges from 22 to 43 years (mean ± standard deviation = 25 ± 4.7 years). The predominant bacteria identified were E. coli (34.5%), S. aureus (10.3%), coagulase negative Staphylococci [CoNS] (17.2%), Klebsiella species (6.9%) and Enterobacter species (31.0%). Majority of Gram-negative bacteria isolates were resistant to ampicillin (70%), cefotaxime (62%), while 75–100% of the Gram positive isolates were resistant to ampicillin. Multiple drug resistance was observed, all the E. coli isolates were resistant to Cefotaxime, meropenem and ampicillin. Of E. coli isolates, 4, 3 and 6 were positive for the VIM, ctx-M and TEM genes respectively.Similarly, the risk of UTI was higher in those had previous UTI history (OR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.15–4.56, P = 0.019) as compared to those who had no previous history of UTI.

<strong>Background:</strong>Bacteriuria during pregnancy has been known to cause many complications like low birth weight and premature delivery.<p><strong>Objective</strong>: This study was done to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of rapid dipstick test to predict urinary tract infection in pregnancy against the gold standard urine culture.</p><p><strong>Material&amp;Methods:</strong> A total of 200 mid stream urine samples were collected from asymptomatic pregnant females. These specimens were cultured in blood agar and MacConkey's agar by using the standard loop technique and incubated aerobically at 37°C overnight. The criterion for clinically significant bacteriuria was either a pure or predominant culture of &gt;10<sup>5</sup> colony forming units (CFU)/ml. All the specimens were also examined microscopically for pyuria and bacteriuria.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy was 15 % in our study. The sensitivity and the specificity for leucocyte esterase were 85.7% and 74.4% and for nitrites, they were 64.2% and 72%.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The study revealed that use of either leukocyte esterase or nitrite for screening of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy was associated with many false positive and negative results when compared with the gold standard urine culture method. By using their combination maximum negative predictive value of .98 was achieved.</p>
