Cross-sectional study identifies bacterial species and antimicrobial resistance in pregnant women, suggesting targeted treatment approaches.

Nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin showed 100% susceptibility against Escherichia coli, indicating effective treatment options for UTIs in pregnancy.
Out of 150 urine samples, 38.7% showed bacterial growth, with Escherichia coli being the predominant pathogen at 39.7%.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out using the modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, providing a clear profile of resistance.
Routine susceptibility testing is essential for optimizing care in pregnant women and preventing the escalation of antimicrobial resistance.

Kiran et al. (2025) studied this question.
