​Abstract
Asymptomatic bacteriurias (ASB) during pregnancy are among the commonest health problems worldwide, especially in developing countries, including India. In this view, the present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of multidrug resistant asymptomatic bacteriuria from pregnant women in the Sivagangai district. A total of 76 were positive for significant bacteriuria. It was noted that asymptomatic bacteriuria were high in pregnant women. Out of 76 positive samples, highest prevalence of bacteriuria was observed in pregnant women within the 20 and >30 years age group were between 32 (30.76%) and 21 (30.88%). Microscopic field contained more than five leukocytes (WBCs) or erythrocytes (RBCs) were taken as positive. Microscopic examination of urine samples revealed that 63 (82.89%) were have leukocytes, while 41 (53.94%), 52 (68.42%), 35 (46.05%) and 06 (7.89 %) were have erythrocytes, epithelial cells, crystal and yeast respectively Effect of pathogenic bacteria on ASB was studied and it was found that Escherichia coli cause the highest percentage of infection (31.57%) in pregnant women. The sensitivity rates of isolates were Ciprofloxacin 88.15 % (64), Chloramphenicol 88.15% (64), Gentamicin 77.63% (59) and cefotaxime 72.36% (55). They were found to be the most effective antibiotics against the asymptomatic bacteriuria isolated.
