The Incidence Rate of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria among LIMU Students
Other
The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between gender and asymptomatic bacteriuria, and to make a reliable comparison between males and females on the subject. The midstream-clean catch method was used to collect urine samples from 24 students at Limu, and the samples were subsequently cultured by inoculating the urine into a medium. The colonies and CFU were counted after the microbes grew. The data was separated into three categories: growth, non-significant growth, and significant growth, and then analyzed with chi-square on spss. Our findings validated the link between gender and asymptomatic bacteriuria, as well as demonstrating that females are more likely than men to develop asymptomatic bacteriuria. As a result, gender should be taken into account as a risk factor.
