Abstract:- Background: Asymptomatic bacteriuria during pregnancy (ASB) has been proved to have serious effects on the outcome of pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment of ASB helps in reducing the complications and improves the outcome of pregnancy. Objective: To study the commonest aerobic bacterial organism causing ASB among antenatal mothers in our center. Materials and methods: This is a cross sectional study done between July 2011 and July 2012. The sample size was 125 subjects. After getting informed consent from the individual, clean catch mid-stream urine was obtained. The samples were processed in central microbiology laboratory using standard microbiological methods. Results: Out of 125 pregnant women screened 14 (11.2%) subjects had ASB. Escherichia coli (35.7%) was the commonest organism isolated, followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (21.4%). The other bacterial organisms responsible were Staphylococcus aureus (14.3%), Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (14.3%), Proteus mirabilis (7.1%), Enterococcus spp. (7.1%). Conclusion: The prevalence of ASB among the pregnant women was statistically significant. Screening of all pregnant women for ASB at least once, most preferably during 16th week must be made mandatory, which will help in bringing down complications of urinary tract infections during pregnancy.
