Abstract
Introduction: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a common problem in patients with diabetes mellitus it is more common in females if untreated it leads to life threatening complications like pyelonephritis, emphysematous cystitis, perinephric abscess and renal papillary necrosis.
Objective: This study was conducted to know the prevalence and clinical profile of asymptomatic bacteriuria in patients with diabetes
Methodology: Type-2 DM patients with asymptomatic urinary tract infection was selected and urine culture, antibiotic sensitivity pattern was studied.
Results: Among 80 diabetics patients 46(57.5%) had asymptomatic bacteriuria. Escherichia coli were the most prevalent organism and was sensitive to Nitrofurantoin in 89.5% cases and meropenem in 68.4% cases.
