Treatment
Not all patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria respond to treatment. Pregnant women, renal transplant recipients, children with vesicoureteral reflux, and people with infected kidney stones appear to be more likely to benefit from treatment with antibiotics.
In addition, if asymptomatic bacteriuria is seen prior to a urological procedure, it should be treated to prevent complications of the procedure. The course of therapy in these cases depends on underlying risk factors.
