The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among different genders

Abstract

Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infections generally, and asymptomatic bacteriuria, one of its many forms is a positive urine culture in a patient with no symptoms of UTI, yet there is no specific reason behind that until now. This research focused on the effect of gender differences on the prevalence and microbial spectrum of asymptomatic bacteriuria, and it has proven that bacteriuria is significantly more common among females when compared to males due to women’s anatomy. Escherichia Coli is the most common bacteria isolated from the urine samples, even though the presence of other organisms is probable. Treatment and management are not required for all patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria unless the case needs it for any adverse effects that asymptomatic bacteriuria can cause.
