Abstract

Background and Objectives: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is frequently observed in elderly persons. The major contributing factors are aging changes and comorbid illnesses. This prospective study was carried out to understand the prevalence and type of organisms in asymptomatic bacteriuria in elderly persons resident in elderly institution. The study also aimed at observing the number of patients changing to symptomatic without treatment in duration of time as well as the effect of bacteriuria in mortality of these persons without antibiotic therapy .Methodology: 17 males and 11 females who were all above 60 years old were selected and studied for a period of four months. None of them had utilized urinary catheter or were on antibiotics.Midstream urine was collected from the patients and samples were inoculated onto blood agar and McConkey agar plates.Results and Conclusion: The study revealed that ASYMPTOMATIC URINARY TRACT INFECTION was prevalent in 39.2% male and 45.45% female patients.The most common bacterium isolated was E.coli. Urologic predisposing factors were: benign prostatic hypertrophy (7.64%), prostatitis (5.88%) in males and urolithiasis (3.8%) in both sexes. Microbial strain alteration or appearance of clinical symptoms were not seen. Bacteriuria didn’t show any effect of mortality in our patients who were not on antibiotic therapy.
