Introduction:Asymptomatic bacteruria (ASB) is defined as the presence of significant bacteruria [>105) in a clean voided midstream urine from a patient without fever or symptoms of UTI. ASB should be screened and treated only in pregnant patients and individuals prior to their urological procedures as recommended by Infectious disease society of America in 2005. ASB is common in healthy women, older women,men, diabetic patients, patients with Indwelling catheters and spinal cord injury, treatment is not recommended for such individuals. Surgeons all over the world perceive any undiagnosed infection in the pre-operative period as the source of SSI, so its prevention is necessary .Its not clear whether this is true for a ASB as well.
