OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is more common in patients with diabetes than among control subjects. In addition, we wanted to clarify the clinical significance of ASB in patients with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data since 1966. Twenty-two studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the me...

BACKGROUND Women with diabetes mellitus (DM) have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) more often than women without DM. It is unknown, however, what the consequences of ASB are in these women. OBJECTIVE To compare women with DM with and without ASB for the development of symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs), renal function, and secondary complications of DM during an 18-month follow-up peri...

Little is known about bacteria associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) with regard to urinary tract colonization mechanisms. In this study, virulence properties of Escherichia coli 83972, a strain that was isolated from a clinical ABU episode, were examined. The genetic potential for expression of P and type 1 pili was demonstrated, and DNA sequences related to type 1C and G (UCA) pilus ...

BACKGROUND Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is common in diabetics and predisposes these patients to more severe urinary tract infections (UTIs). Reports on the prevalence and etiology of ASB especially in developing countries appear contradictory. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence and etiology of ASB and antimicrobial resistance of urinary isolates in diabetics and non-diabetics. METHOD...

OBJECTIVE Women with diabetes have urinary tract infections (UTIs) more often than women without diabetes. The aim of the present multicenter study was to evaluate which clinical characteristics are associated with the development of a symptomatic UTI during an 18-month follow-up period. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes who were between 18 and 75 year...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common bacterial infections during pregnancy and these infections. Untreated UTI can be associated with serious obstetric complications. This cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of UTI among symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women attending Bugando Medical centre (BMC) in Mwanza, Tanzania. A total of 247 pregnant wome...

INTRODUCTION
 Urinary tract of female undergoes tremendous changes during pregnancy which increases their risk acquiring infection. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a common entity among pregnant women refers to significant (>105 bacteria per ml urine) without any typical symptoms urinary can lead various maternal and fetal complications if not detected treated on time.
 MATERIAL AND ME...

Introduction: Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy (ABU) is poorly understood and neglected developing countries. It causes certain lethal maternal fetal consequences if left untreated including low weighted births, premature delivery, full-blown urinary tract infection pyelonephritis.
 Objective: Our aim was to explore such factors having bad impact on associated with asymptomatic aware ...
