One-thousand out of a total obstetric population of 3,548 patients seen between January and December, 1985, were screened for asymptomatic bacteriuria. During the first trimester, the observed incidence was 5.3 per cent while in the second and third trimesters it was 4.1 and 2.8 per cent, respectively. The overall pick-up rate was 4.0 per cent. The significance of this observation was discussed. Escherichia coli was the predominant causative micro-organism, accounting for 45 per cent of cases. A seven-day sensitive antibiotic therapy eradicated all the positive cases. The qualitative culture method as described in this study is a simple, sensitive and reliable method of screening for bacteriuria in pregnancy, especially as it can be used for identification of the causative organism and its antibiotic sensitivity.
在1985年1月至12月期间就诊的3548名产科患者中，对1000名进行了无症状菌尿筛查。在孕早期，观察到的发病率为5.3%，而在孕中期和孕晚期分别为4.1%和2.8%。总体检出率为4.0%。讨论了这一观察结果的意义。大肠杆菌是主要的致病微生物，占病例的45%。为期七天的敏感抗生素治疗根除了所有阳性病例。本研究中描述的定性培养方法是一种简单、灵敏且可靠的孕期菌尿筛查方法，特别是因为它可用于鉴定致病微生物及其抗生素敏感性。
