AI Article Synopsis
- It's crucial to manage asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) and urinary tract infections (UTIs) in pregnant women due to their common occurrence and risks to both mother and baby.
- Pregnant women should be screened for ASB through urine culture, and if positive, treated with antibiotics specific to the culture for 5 to 7 days.
- New studies suggest exploring non-antibiotic prevention methods and reducing the length of antibiotic treatments for ASB and UTIs during pregnancy.
Article Abstract
Understanding the management of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) and urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy is important, given the prevalence of these conditions, associated risks to the mother and fetus /newborn, and potential requirement for antibiotic treatment. Screening for ASB with a urine culture is required during pregnancy, and a positive culture is treated for 5 to 7 days with culture-specific antibiotics. Recent research on non-antibiotic prevention and shortened duration of antibiotic treatment may offer a slightly different approach to ASB and UTI in pregnancy.
