  • Title: [The frequency of bacteriuria in pregnancy].
    Author: Zadjelović J, Drazancić A, Babić I, Bubanović P.
    Journal: Jugosl Ginekol Opstet; 1982; 22(1-2):13-6. PubMed ID: 7132420.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the results of a bacteriological urine analysis of 1774 pregnant women controlled in the Gynecological Dispensary Pesćenica in Zagreb. In 2824 examined urine specimens sterile urinocultures were found in 67.6% and bacteriuria in 32.4%. Significant findings of bacteriuria were recorded in 10.5% and insignificant ones in 21.9% of the specimens. The most common bacteria were E. coli (45.24%), then Staphylococcus albus epidermidis (17.4%), Staphylococcus pyogenes aureus (14.64%), Proteus mirabilis (9.39%), and Enterococcus (5.24%). Urine specimens were taken by the dip slide method. A rather high percentage of significant asymptomatic bacteriurias (10.5%) suggests the early detection and therapy in urinary infections as the best prevention of pyelonephritis gravidarum and gestosis. A routine bacteriological urine analysis in pregnant women should be one of the factors included in prenatal care.
