Cross-sectional study identifies UTI prevalence and pathogen susceptibility in pregnant women, suggesting early screening is crucial.

The prevalence of urinary tract infection reached 21.2% among pregnant women in the study.
Most isolated pathogens in the study were 64.1% Gram-negative bacteria, with Escherichia coli accounting for 39.62% of cases.
The investigation used midstream clean catch urine samples to assess bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
Early treatment and routine screening of pregnant women for urinary tract infection may improve outcomes for both mother and fetus.

Endow et al. (2025) studied this question.
