The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in the Libyan population

Abstract

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common medical condition affecting both genders and can either present as the symptomatic or asymptomatic type. This study aims to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria and the affected gender in Libya. According to the microbiological examination at Libyan International Medical University Microbiology Lab which included a comprehensive physical, chemical, morphological examination, and urine culture. It was concluded that UTIs are mostly caused by Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas. Further statistical analysis was performed and determined that females are more affected with UTIs than males with 16.7% significant growth of bacteria in the samples collected. This data is represented in the various graphs and tables with statistical analysis proving the significance of the findings. These results are essential in understanding the epidemiological and etiological status of this disorder amongst the Libyan population. The findings can guide diagnostic and treatment plans for patients affected
