Urinary tract infection

Abstract

Bacteriuria is caused by the presence of bacteria in the urine. Asymptomatic or symptomatic urinary tract infections exist (or UTI). The goal of this study is to determine whether gender has a significant impact on the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria. A urine culture was performed on 24 LIMU students' samples to test for the presence of bacteria. CFUs were counted and calculated. Females have a higher prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria than males, according to the findings. For example, 12% of females had significant bacterial growth, whereas 0% of males had any significant bacterial growth. This demonstrates that gender has a significant impact on asymptomatic bacteriuria prevalence rates.
