The incidence rate of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria among LIMU students

Abstract

Urinalysis measurements were collected from 30 men and 33 women. The presence of microorganisms was determined in urine samples grown on CLED. The most common bacteria associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria is Escherichia coli (ABU). In contrast to uropathogenic E. coli, which causes symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI), asymptomatic bacteriuria is defined as a high bacterial count in the urine but no symptoms of a UTI (UTI). Mid-stream urine samples were tested for significant asymptomatic bacteriuria using standard bacteriological methods. Females are more susceptible to bacteria than males. There was a statistically significant difference in asymptomatic bacteriuria with gender (X2, P=0.004).
