This review recommended that more research should be done to discover the best way of treating asymptomatic bacteriuria.
2.
A number of maternal bacterial infections are associated with preterm birth including pyelonephritis, asymptomatic bacteriuria, pneumonia, and appendicitis.
3.
Chronic asymptomatic bacteriuria without urinary tract infection symptoms is prevalent in as high as 50 % of the population in long-term care.
4.
"' Asymptomatic bacteriuria "'is bacteriuria without accompanying symptoms of a urinary tract infection ( such as painful urination or fever ).
5.
A review into giving antibiotics in pregnancy for asymptomatic bacteriuria ( urine infection with no symptoms ) found the research was of very low quality but that it did suggest that taking antibiotics reduced the numbers of preterm births and babies with low birth weight.

Specifically in the 1980s, the majority of the journals content followed a reductionist model of biomedical research; at the time, scientists followed this generalist approach to research because they believed in understanding disease at a microscopic level ( especially when observing organs ) to apply findings to many different cases . ( Krieger 2011 ) For example, one article in the 1985 issue, Prevalence of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria and Comparison between Different Screening Methods for its Detection in Infants, relied on urine samples of 441 children between the ages of 3 to 36 months to detect urinary tract infections . ( Goossens 1985 ) Other studies in the 1985 issue focused on using cultures and vector borne studies, attesting to the fact that the journal at its inception geared towards readers with a scientific background.
