Multicentre evaluation of significant bacteriuria among pregnant women in the cascade of referral healthcare system in North-western Tanzania: Bacterial pathogens, antimicrobial resistance profiles and predictors

ConclusionsThe prevalence of SB among pregnant women in this study was high (17.7%) and was within the same range reported 10 years ago in a single-centre baseline study. However, there is an increase in AMR in the cascade of referral healthcare system, underscoring the need for health facility level-specific antimicrobial stewardship.
