MICROBIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA IN PREGNANT WOMEN OF THE FAR NORTH

Abstract

Purpose of the study - to determine the microbiological characteristics of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women living in the Far North.Objective of study - pregnant women, representatives of the indigenous population of the Far North.Results. The socio-demographic and natural-climatic factors contributing to the formation of asymptomatic bacteriuria in the inhabitants of the Far North have been determined. The most significant group of microorganisms for the development of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women, representatives of the indigenous population of the Far North, has been determined.Conclusions. The ethnic lifestyle of the indigenous population of the Far North of Russia, leading a nomadic lifestyle in the tundra, affects the reproductive sphere, the course and outcome of pregnancy of the aboriginal population, which suggests that urgent measures must be taken to comply with the requirements of the concept of «protection of motherhood and childhood» for specialized and more detailed monitoring of pregnancy among peoples of the Far North.The risk group for complications during pregnancy and childbirth includes representatives with a low social status, which is characterized by the absence of favorable living and climatic conditions, among which the level of diagnosis of asymptomatic bacteriuria is observed 3 times more often compared to representatives of other social groups.
