Asymptomatic bacteriuria and its associated fetomaternal outcomes among pregnant women delivering at Bugando Medical Centre in Mwanza, Tanzania

Abstract

The prevalence of ASB among pregnant women in Tanzania remains high and is associated with adverse fetomaternal outcomes. Integrating routine urine culture screening for all pregnant women, irrespective of symptoms, and providing specific antimicrobial therapies during antenatal care can help prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes.
