Re: Asymptomatic bacteriuriaFrom: Betsy Hyde (elishyde@connix.com)Fri Apr 21 16:10:01 2000
I guess I should have been more specific w/ my questions, so I will try again.
> We generally use macrodantin, for the reasons stated above. However, sometimes ampi happens to be the cheapest abx to which the organism is sensitive. Do any of you have concerns re overgrowth of ampicillin-resistent ecoli w/ frequent tx of ampicillin? Would you use a more expensive medication (ie a cephalosporin) to avoid this problem? Or don't you perceive it as a problem? (we've had several IUFDs due to ampi resistent ecoli sepsis, so that is what drives my questions.)
> right....treated in labor. But, given that it is impossible to eradicate the gi source of GBS, we see GBS UTIs that never go away.....10K, 25K...always there. Do you keep treating low levels of GBS in the urine *prior* to labor? Hope this is more clear.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
