Uro-pathogens: Prevalence of bacterial agents, and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of urinary tract infections among pregnant women living with HIV in Kisumu County, Kenya

Abstract

During pregnancy, urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections, particularly in women living with HIV worldwide, and can lead to poor perinatal and maternal outcomes. This study determined the prevalence of UTIs during pregnancy, associated risk factors, and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of associated bacterial pathogens in pregnant women living with HIV attending a highvolume hospital in Kisumu County, Kenya.
