Summary

The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy has been reported in the range of 2-15%\[3\]. Due to the severity of the complications related to asymptomatic bacteriuria in this patient population, the American College of OBGYN recommends routine screening of all pregnant women. Asymptomatic bacteriuria in a pregnant woman should be screened only using a clean-catch non contaminated urine sample. Screening for ABU using urine chemistries is not recommended due to the lack of sensitivity and specificity of these tests . If ABU is present, appropriate antibiotic is given and post treatment urine culture is performed. However, a controversy does exist as to the value of treatment of ABU in the prevention of above noted complications \[7\].

Interestingly, we have noted a contaminated urine cultures in up to 15 to 20% of our prenatal patients. This can be frustrating to both the patient and her physician. Repeat testing, delay in the diagnosis, and additional cost are just some of the problems associated with these contaminated urine cultures.

We hypothesis by improving the instructions given to patients on how to perform a clean catch urine, that we will decease our contaminated urine cultures.
