Normal urine is sterile. If bacteria are present in the urine, it is called bacteriuria. Bacteriuria may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. asymptomatic bacteriuria is called asymptomatic bacteriuria. Treatment for asymptomatic bacteriuria generally depends on antibiotic treatment. Antibiotic treatment is recommended for pregnant women or for asymptomatic bacteriuria patients who are prepared for invasive procedures that may cause bleeding in the urinary tract. Asymptomatic bacteriuria in premenopausal nonpregnant women, the elderly, patients with indwelling catheters, nephrostomy or ureteral catheters, spinal cord injuries, etc. generally does not require treatment. In addition, bacteriuria caused by indwelling catheters does not require treatment in most cases, but appropriate antimicrobial treatment should be given in some special cases, including as part of a controlled treatment regimen for nosocomial infections caused by isolated microorganisms. Second, patients who present a risk of serious complications, such as granulocytopenia, immunosuppression, etc., need to be treated for urological surgery, asymptomatic bacteriuria patients infected with strains causing high rates of bacteremia, such as Serratia marcescens.
