Abstract

A cross-sectional study involving 201 pregnant women with no symptoms and/or clinical signs of urinary tract infection who attended antenatal booking clinic of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu Nigeria. The two hundred and one pregnant women were examined for asymptomatic bacteriuria, 34 (16.9%) had positive urine culture for significant bacteriuria and 12 (5.9%) had candiduria. There were statistically significant associations between bacteriuria and age (p=0.018), educational level (p=0.019) and occupation (p=0.008). The most prevalent bacterial isolate was Staphylococcus aureus (47.1%) and least cultured isolate was Escherichia coli (5.9%). Cotrimoxazole and ofloxacin were the most sensitive antimicrobial agents while Nitrofurantoin was the least sensitive. The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among women attending antenatal care in Sagamu is still high (16.9%) and this underscores the need for routine antenatal screen for all pregnant women at least on the first antenatal visit.
