Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most frequently encountered problems owing to significant number of patients needing hospitalization during pregnancy. The incidence of UTI in pregnant women is reported to be high up to 7-8%.Methods: This is a prospective study conducted in Valley Maternity Hospital during a period of 6 months (Jan 2011 to June 2011). 520 MSU (Mid stream urine samples) from pregnant women clinically suspected of urine infection were evaluated by urine dipstick analysis, microscopic and culture method. The isolates were identified and antibiotic sensitivity pattern was determined by standard protocol.Results: The majority of the patients were in-between the age group of 20-30years- 338cases (65%) and these patients usually presented in the first trimester of pregnancy- 317cases (60.96%).  Out of the 520 clinically suspected UTI cases, 232 (44.61%) was culture positive. Out of the culture positive cases; Escherichia coli (E.coli) was the most common accounting for a total of 144cases (80%). Nitrofurantoin was found to be the most effective drug against the gram negative (Gm-ve) bacteria. Similarly, Ampicillin, Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin were found to be effective agent against gram positive (Gm+ve) bacteria.Conclusions: Screening for bacteriuria is recommended among all pregnant women at the first prenatal visit and in the subsequent trimesters of pregnancy. Prompt treatment of symptomatic UTI and asymptomatic bacteriuria is required in pregnant women to avoid complications like preterm birth, low birth weight and increased perinatal mortality.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common during pregnancy and especially soin pregnant patients with diabetes mellitus. The emergence of drug resistance and particularlythe extended spectrum Beta-lactamase production by Escherechia Coli and Methicillinresistance in staphylococci, limits the choice of anti-microbials. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 pregnant women with sign andsymptoms of UTI in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, BIRDEM generalHospital-2 from January to June 2017. The objectives of the study were to determine thepresence and type of pathogens found in pregnant diabetic women presenting with featuresof urinary tract infection, and to analyze their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Clean catch midstreamurine samples were collected using standard procedure and culture and sensitivitywas done following standard bacteriological method. Results: Mean age of the study subjects was 29.84±5.29 yrs; 48% were in third trimester ofpregnancy; 52% had Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and 48% had Diabetes Mellitus(DM). Out of fifty pregnant women, thirty eight (76.0%) study subjects had positive growth.Of them, Escherechia coli was found in 57.9% cases, Klebsiellain 21.1%, Staphylococcusaureus in 7.9%, Enterococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa each in 2.6% case. Amikacinwas found to be sensitive to 100% cases of E. Coli, Klebsiella& Enterococcus but 100%resistant to Streptococcus. Conclusion: In this study, E. Coli was the most common organisms causing UTI, which isless susceptible to conventional oral antibiotics but more susceptible to amikacin. So carefulldrug selection is required for successful outcome in UTI. Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2018; Vol. 33(1) : 54-58

Asymptomatic bacteriuria is defined as bacteriuria consisting of one type of bacteria ³ 105 CFU/mL in clean-voided midstreamculture of a person without any symptoms of urinary tract infection. Untreated asymptomatic bacteriuria is dangerous for pregnancybecause complications such as pyelonephritis, maternal sepsis, premature birth, and premature rupture of the membrane, low birthweight baby, hypertension and or preeclampsia, anaemia in pregnancy, amnionitis and post delivery endometriosis can arise. Someasymptomatic cases could threaten the pregnant woman and her foetus without prior pyelonephritis symptoms. The purpose of this studywas to determine the pattern of bacteria in asymptomatic bacteriuria pregnant women and their antibiotic sensitivity. This study hasbeen carried out between October 2003 and April 2004 on 376 pregnant women without symptoms of urinary tract infection. Screeningwas performed using urine culture, followed by antibiotic susceptibility test. The study showed that the prevalence of asymptomaticbacteriuria among pregnant women in RSU Dr. Soetomo was 9.85% (37 out of 376 pregnant women without urinary tract infection).Thirteen bacterial types were found in those 37 positive samples. The most common bacteria found was Escherichia coli (37.83%). Thisbacterium was sensitive to ceftriaxone (85.71%), nitrofurantoin (64.28%) and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (57.14%). Based on the datagained in this study, it is concluded that the prevalence of pregnancy cases with asymptomatic bacteriuria in the Dr. Soetomo Hospitalis significantly high (9.85%). The most recommended drugs are ceftriaxone, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and nitrofurantoin.

Background: Urinary tract infection is common with health impact in women and characterised by failure to treatment and recurrent episodes. Aim: This study was conducted to determine the risk factors for the development of urinary tract infection in diabetic and pregnant women in comparison to student female. Materials and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted during the period from 1st of June 2015 to the end of January 2016. The population included in the study are 563 women, of them 425 were outpatients, and 138 were inpatients. Their age range between 18 and 80 years, with a mean age of 33.59±15.29 years. Urine samples collected and cultured on blood agar and MacConkey agar by spread plate technique. Bacterial colonies with different morphology were selected, purified and identified according to their biochemical characteristics using conventional standard methods. Results: In diabetic women, there were no significant difference in mean age and BMI values between culture positive and culture negative groups. However, pus cell mean scale was significantly higher [P=0.000] in women with urinary tract infection [1.76±1.25] than in those with negative culture [0.69±1.00]. In pregnant women, BMI mean value was significantly [P=0.013] lower in pregnant women with UTI [26.14] as compared to those without infection [26.99]. Pus cell scale mean value was significantly [P=0.000] higher in pregnant women with UTI [1.55] than women with negative UTI [0.85]. While there was no significant difference in mean age between UTI positive and negative pregnant women. In female student, there was a significant difference between UTI infected and non-infected in mean age [P=0.041] and pus cell scale [P=0.000]. However, BMI was not significantly different between infected and non-infected female student. Other risk factors association are variables in the 3 groups when analysed using X2, while AUC and OR show different trends of association between risk factors and UTI. Conclusion: BMI, pus cell scale, child number, delivery method, operation history and hospital setting were significantly associated with culture positivity in the 3 studied groups as determined by AUC. While OR confirmed association with pus sale scale in the 3 groups.

Contents: The most prevalent type of infection during pregnancy is urinary tract infections (UTIs). It affects up to ten percent of pregnant women and may cause serious adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus. Aim:  The research aimed to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on pregnant women’s knowledge and self-care practices regarding urinary tract infection.  Methods: A quasi-experimental (pre/post-test) design was adopted to fulfill this study's aim. The study was conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynaecological outpatient clinic in Benha university hospital on a purposive sample of 68 pregnant women among those attending the setting mentioned above. Two key instruments were used to collect data: A structured interviewing questionnaire, self-care practices checklist. Results: revealed a highly statistically significant difference in pregnant women's knowledge and self-care practices related to urinary tract infection at post-intervention compared to their pre-intervention phase (p-values < 0.001). A highly significant positive correlation was illustrated between studied women's total knowledge and total practice scores at pre (p=0.04) and post-intervention (p=0.000) phases. Conclusion: The study concluded that the research hypothesis is supported, and pregnant women exhibited better knowledge and self-care practices regarding (UTI) during pregnancy after implementing an educational intervention than before. The study recommended that knowledge and self-care concepts regarding UTI through antenatal screening programs in early pregnancy should be empowered as an essential part of all women's health care levels and strategies.
