Women with diabetes mellitus suffer symptomatic bacteriuria and symptomatic urinary infections more often than non-diabetic women. Prevalence is similar, however, in males with and without diabetes. There is a controversy on the impact of asymptomatic bacteriuria on the development of complications in diabetic patients. Current evidence is reviewed concerning the need for detection and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria in these patients.

AbstractScreening and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria is generally not recommended due to a lack of clinical benefit and potential harm. A notable exception is the recommendation for routine screening during pregnancy. In this Tomorrow's Trial, the authors review the relevant evidence and propose a trial to address the question, "should low-risk pregnant patients be screened for asymptomatic bacteriuria?"

Background: The rate of antibiotic treatment for catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria (CA-ASB) remains high.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving hospitalized patients with multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRP) CA-ASB. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to identify predictors for subsequent symptomatic infections in patients with MDRP CA-ASB.

Introduction: Urinary tract infections are prevalent among pregnant women and can lead to serious maternal and neonatal complications. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, a leading cause of maternal morbidity, may be associated with urinary tract infections. This study investigates whether bacteriuria detected via routine urinalysis, a standard screening in Indonesia, contributes to hypertension risk during pregnancy, aiming to enhance clinical management and screening protocols.

Background: Urinary tract infections are prone to overdiagnosis, and reflex urine culture protocols offer a valuable opportunity for diagnostic stewardship in this arena. However, there is no recommended standard testing approach. Cancer patients are often excluded from reflex urine culture protocols, especially if severely immunosuppressed or neutropenic.
