RE: Asymptomatic bacteriuria

in #steemstem7 years ago

Hello @ugonna, thanks for this very educative piece.

Almost all of the aetiogical agents you listed as being implicated in Asymptomatic bacteriuria are opportunistic bacteria!

Does that mean Asymptomatic bacteriuria is an infection common in immunosuppressed individuals, and that maintaining a good health status would be enough to keep it at bay?

Am sorry for replying late, had some issues with my internet connection. yes like you rightly said, maintaining a good health status should be enough to keep the organisms at bay for immunocompromised individuals but there are other factors such as the gender(sex), Age and sexual activity that also predisposes one to asymptomatic bacteriuria. details in the article.
thank you for commenting and reading, looking out for your posts too.
