“…In addition to other gram negative and positive bacteria (Enayat et al, 2008;Sujatha and Nawani, 2014;Kamel et al, 2018;Sonkar et al, 2012). This is in agreement with other studies on ABS worldwide (Nabbugodi et al, 2015;Ayoyi et al, 2017;Gohar et al, 2019;Sonkar et al, 2021;Awoke et al, 2021) et al, 2018, Kenya by Nabbugodi et al, 2015Ayoyi et al, 2017 andin India by Ankur et al, 2015, showed that the E. coli was the most common isolated organism followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia.…”

“…However there is increased development of microbial resistance to antibiotics (Jain et al, 2013, Sujatha andNawani, 2014). Also, antimicrobial treatment of ABS will reduce the risk of having a low birth weight baby from 15% to 5% and pyelonephritis from 35% to 4% (Perera et al, 2012;Awoke et al, 2021).…”

“…For example, Escherichia coli are Gram-negative bacteria which can generate large-spectrum of betalactam enzymes making them resistant to most beta-lactam antibiotics (Abderrazzack et al, 2015). A rate of antimicrobial resistance varies according to geographic locations and they are directly proportional to the use and misuse of antimicrobials (Ali et al, 2018;Awoke et al, 2021).…”

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is known as significant presence of pathogenic bacteria more as 105 CFU/ml in urine culture of pregnant women without any symptoms indicate of urinary tract infections. Which is may lead to serious complications on health of a pregnant woman, and the fetus if left untreated. The purpose of this study was designed to find the prevalence of asymptomatic urinary tract infection (AUTI) among pregnant women, and also to determine the antibacterial susceptibility of the isolates to various antibiotics to reduce risk factors in pregnancy. However, little is known about asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy in Libya, namely in Sirte city. A total of 265 samples were collected in 7 months study involving women attending antenatal clinics in Sirte City-Libya, mid-stream urine samples were collected for microscopically examination. A colony culture growth were identified by biochemical tests and conventional antibiotic susceptibility tested in microbiology laboratory. Isolates were identified and tested against commonly used antimicrobial drugs using Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. The prevalence of 265 pregnant women in different age groups were enrolled in this study, only 76 (28.7%) pregnant women had bacteriuria. The organism isolated from the urine sample according to the frequency of occurrence was Escherichia coli 32(42.1%), Coagulase negative Staphylococcus 11 (14.4%), Staphylococcus aureus 9(11.8%), Klebsiella Pneumoniae 9(11.8%), Streptococcus agalactiae 8 (10.5%), Enterococcus spp 5(6.6%), Proteus mirabilis 2(2.6%), respectively. The overall prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women in the study area was not high, but need to be taken on consider reducing risk of infections. The presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria and their antibiotic susceptibility test results should be taken into consideration during the management of pregnant women who are visiting antenatal care clinic; because there was high resistance to the most commonly used antibiotics. Routine urine culture and antimicrobial sensitivity for antenatal women should be carried out to detect asymptomatic bacteriuria to treat early infections, to prevent any serious complication associated with pregnancy.
