Of the 290 study participants, 66(22.8%) had significant bacteriuria. Breastfeeding women were 152(52.4%) and 138(47.6%) were pregnant women. The predominant bacteria isolated were E. coli 21(31.8%) while 17(34.0%) of gram-negative bacteria were Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBLs) and 1(25.0%) was Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Escherichia coli showed high resistance rate against trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 21(100%), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 20(95.0%). Staphylococcus aureus 4(100%) were resistance to both penicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The proportion of multi-drug resistance (MDR) was 45(68.2%). Rwamishenye health Centre (APR: 2.12, 95%CL: 1.04-4.34, p=0.027), Kashai dispensary (APR: 2.63, 95%CL: 1.31-5.26, p=0.006) and single marital status (APR=1.85, 95%CI:1.03-3.34) were the factors significantly associated with bacteriuria.
