MICROBIOLOGICAL PREDICTORS OF ADVERSE PERINATAL OUTCOMES IN PREGNANCIES COMPLICATED BY ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA: IMPLICATIONS FOR EARLY RISK ASSESSMENT

This article examines the microbiological predictors of adverse perinatal  outcomes in pregnancies complicated by asymptomatic bacteriuria. Particular attention  is given to uropathogen profiles, bacterial load, antimicrobial resistance, and their  potential prognostic significance. The importance of early microbiological screening  and risk stratification is emphasized to support timely intervention and improve  maternal and neonatal outcomes.
