Abstract
Understanding the management of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) and urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy is important, given the prevalence of these conditions, associated risks to the mother and fetus /newborn, and potential requirement for antibiotic treatment. Screening for ASB with a urine culture is required during pregnancy, and a positive culture is treated for 5 to 7days with culture-specific antibiotics. Recent research on non-antibiotic prevention and shortened duration of antibiotic treatment may offer a slightly different approach to ASB and UTI in pregnancy.
