To determine the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy, midstream urine samples from 505 pregnant women in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, were screened using urine culture and urinalysis. Urine cultures showed heavy growth (> or = 10(5) colony forming units/mL) in 4.8% (24/505) of the samples; 16/24 (66.7%) of these isolates were Escherichia coli. Microscopic examination had the highest sensitivity (67%), while nitrite dipstick testing showed the highest specificity and positive predictive value (99% and 57% respectively). Antibiotic sensitivity tests carried out on the positive culture samples showed high sensitivity to gentamicin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and fosfomycin.
为确定妊娠期间无症状菌尿的患病率，对阿拉伯联合酋长国沙迦的505名孕妇的中段尿样本进行了尿培养和尿液分析筛查。尿培养显示4.8%（24/505）的样本有大量细菌生长（≥10⁵菌落形成单位/mL）；其中16/24（66.7%）的分离株为大肠杆菌。显微镜检查的敏感性最高（67%），而亚硝酸盐试纸检测的特异性和阳性预测值最高（分别为99%和57%）。对阳性培养样本进行的抗生素敏感性试验显示，对庆大霉素、阿莫西林-克拉维酸和磷霉素高度敏感。
