Bacterial abundance and antimicrobial resistance patterns of uropathogens among pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria: Association with glycemic status.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing global menace, poses a significant threat to maternal and fetal health. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) causes double trouble in pregnancy, increasing the risk of a variety of infectious morbidities while also raising the possible association with AMR. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is a common problem in pregnancy, but little research has been done to date explicitly examining the relationship between GDM and ASB and yielded conflicting results. Even fewer studies have specifically examined the relationship between GDM and AMR in women with ASB. Retrieving the most recent information on the disease burden, the range of causative pathogens, their patterns of AMR, and associated risk factors in pregnant women is crucial to sto
