Fetal complications can occur if pregnant women with urinary tract infection (UTI) are not treated. We aimed to determine the magnitude of UTI, drug resistance profile, and fetal outcomes among pregnant women in Adare General Hospital, Hawassa, Ethiopia. Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 308 pregnant women using questionnaire and review of medical records.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus infection among adult patients suspected of having tuberculosis at Dilla University Referral Hospital in Ethiopia, finding a 21.4% prevalence rate.
- - A significant level of antibiotic resistance was observed, with high rates of resistance to penicillin (74.1%) and tetracycline (78.7%), and 46.1% of the bacterial isolates showed multidrug resistance.
- - Factors such as lower educational status, larger family size, and living in crowded conditions were associated with an increased likelihood of Streptococcus infection among the participants.
