Type: article

Abstract: Background: Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) occurs in individuals of all ages. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of 6 months from February 2024 to August 2024 at Panimalar Medical College Hospital and Research Center that included 130 antenatal women presented for regular antenatal check-up in OG OPD. Graphpad Prism (vs. 9.2.0). was used for data analysis in which p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The overall prevalence of ASB was 33.1%. Conclusions: The incidence of ASB was 33.1% which is still lower as reported in other Indian studies. Age, socioeconomic class and trimester were not found to be associated with ASB. The most common organism isolated was E. coli, followed by S. aureus, Klebsiella, Proteus, and equal incidence of Citrobacter spp. and Pseudomonas.
