Abstract Our study was carried on 100 females of different ages and divided into :_ (l) PlLegnctn-t 6emctle-6 150 c.uu) : 22 pregnant females complaining of urinary troubles. 28 pregnant females not complaining of urinary troubles. (2) Non plLegnctn-t 6emctle-6 (50 c.ue-6). 25 cases non pregnant with devices 25 cases non pregnant without devices A midstream urine aamples from these cases were physically, microscopically and bacteriologically examined to determine the incidence of bacteriuria and the type of organisms responsible for bacteriuria. Antibiotic sensitivity test were performed on the isolated organisms and all the results were tabulated. It is found that pregnancy predispose to urinary tract infection seconda~to hormonal and mechanical changes leading to stasis of urine and dilatation of urinary tract. The incidence of bacteriuria was 22 % of pregnant females incontrast to bacteriuria in control cases which was 12 % (The incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant females was lB.l ~). But the incidence of bacteriuria in non pregnant females using devices was 36 % which is higher than infection in IUD users. control cases this may be secondary to ascending of E.coli was the commonest organism responsible ~- for urinary tract infection either alone (27.3 %) or mixed (45.4 %) with Staph aureus , Diphtheroids, Anthracoids and Strept faecalis. very sensitive (100 %) to doxycycline and kephaleXine and Antibiotic sensitivity test showed that E.coli was -- resistant to choxacillin and gramycin. sensitive 80 % to nitrofurantion but it was completely devices urine must be examined searching for bacteriuria In conclusion for all pregnant women and women using tract complication in the future. with or without urinary complaint to prevent any urinary |
