| All pregnant women should be screened for bacteriuria and subsequently treated with antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin, sulfisoxazole or cephalexin. |
| The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening every pregnant patient for asymptomatic bacteriuria using a urine culture. |
| This multicenter trial initially enrolled 421 children who were one to 24 months of age and had a fever and pyuria or bacteriuria in a catheterized urine specimen. |
| Virtually every patient with chronic catheterization is colonized with bacteriuria within six weeks. |
| Asymptomatic bacteriuria, gonococcal cervicitis and bacterial vaginosis are strongly associated with preterm delivery. |
| The review concludes that antibiotic treatment is effective in clearing bacteriuria, reducing the incidence of pyelonephritis, and reducing the incidence of preterm delivery or low birth weight infants. |
