| All pregnant women, especially those who have diabetes and had a previous UTI, should be screened for asymptomatic bacteriuria during the first prenatal visit. |
| Chromogenic Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay for rapid detection of Gram negative bacteriuria. |
| All pregnant women should be screened for bacteriuria and subsequently treated with antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin, sulfisoxazole or cephalexin. |
| The specificity of the dipstick test makes it useful for identifying hematuria, pyuria, or bacteriuria. |
