The incidence rate of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria among LIMU students
Other
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans, the asymptomatic bactriuria is the most common type of UTI, and it is also common in females, especially as they age. Aim of study: incidence rate of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria among LIMU students, effect of Gender differences on prevalence and microbial spectrum of asymptomatic bacteriuria. Materials and Methods: The total number of students is 24 students (12 female and 12 male), collected samples from these students and did a urine culture and urine analysis in own laboratory, which was in 29 March, 2022, and then coded and entered to SPSS version 26. Results: We found in SPSS software by used Chi-Square Tests that 9 (75.0%) of the men are no growth in culture and just 3 (25.0 %) are growth in culture, and in females 2 (16.7%) are no growth in culture and 10 (83.3%), and total (male and female) no growth in culture is 11(45.8%) and growth is 13(54.2%) and the p-value being 0.004 (≥ 0.05), so it is common in females more than male. Conclusion: females are more susceptible to infection with asymptomatic bacteriuria than male, and the most common bacteria for asymptomatic bacteriuria is Escherichia coli. Recommendation: Urine culture tests should be performed on a regular basis to detect asymptomatic bacteriuria early.
