  • Title: Bacteriuria of pregnancy--an update on significance, diagnosis and management.
    Author: Bint AJ, Hill D.
    Journal: J Antimicrob Chemother; 1994 May; 33 Suppl A():93-7. PubMed ID: 7928841.
    Abstract:
    Bacteriuria of pregnancy is a common condition which is thought to be associated with serious sequelae in mother and fetus. A programme of screening, treatment and follow-up is likely to be cost-effective, but will depend on local prevalences of bacteriuria and pyelonephritis. If treatment is undertaken, nitrofurantoin and cephalexin are both safe and effective and have resistance rates of below 10%. Amoxycillin is also safe, but resistance rates in Escherichia coli are about 40%. A 7 day course of treatment remains advisable.
