Microbiologist in the Clinic: Pregnant Microbiologist with Asymptomatic Bacteriuria
摘要
In this fourth episode of the Microbiologist in the Clinic series, clinicians and laboratory scientists share their perspectives about a 26-year-old microbiologist G1P0 who is 20 weeks pregnant. She is questioning her obstetrician’s recommendation to take systemic antibiotics for a positive urine culture obtained, as her research work focuses on the effect of antibiotics on young children. She hopes to avoid exposing her child to systemic antibiotics if possible.
