Abstract

Introduction: Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are commonly observed in pregnancy because of the physiological and structural alterations in the genitourinary system. These infections may appear with symptoms or remain silent. Asymptomatic Bacteriuria (ASB) refers to the presence of actively multiplying bacteria in quantities greater than 105/ml in urine from the urinary tract, excluding the distal urethra, without any clinical features of UTI

Aim: To determine the prevalence and risk factors (gestational diabetes mellitus, low socioeconomic status, high parity) of asymptomatic bacteriuria and it's antibacterial susceptibility in pregnant women attending the Antenatal clinic for their first visit in SMS medical collage Jaipur.

Conclusion: This study highlights the need to screen pregnant women for asymptomatic bacteriuria, as several risk factors were found. Although factors like age, occupation, religion, education, BMI, pregnancy stage, and personal habits showed some differences, bacteriuria was significantly more common in women living in rural areas, those with low socio-economic status, those who had multiple pregnancies, and those with gestational diabetes
