About
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is defined as the presence of at least 105 colony-forming units (CFU)/ml of 1 or 2 bacterial species in clean-voided midstream urine sample from an individual without symptoms of UTI
Full description
ASB is common in women and increases in prevalence with age and/or sexual activity, due to short urethra, pregnancy, easy contamination of urinary tract with fecal flora
The pregnant women are two times more commonly affected than age matched non pregnant females. This is due to urinary stasis due to progesterone effect in pregnancy in addition to different morphological and physiological changes occurring during pregnancy The prevalence of ASB is about 3 times higher in diabetic women (ranging from 15% to 30%) than in non-diabetic women (less than 10%)
