We evaluated the incidence, clinical and microbiological profile, and outcome of ASB in pregnant women attending our antenatal clinic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>This prospective study was conducted on 3769 pregnant women in a routine antenatal clinic at a tertiary care center. Participants were divided into two groups, ASB and non-bacteriuria. Data were collected in a standard proforma and analyzed using the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) v. 20.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results:<\/jats:title>The incidence of ASB was 3.29% (124\/3769). Majority of the women were in the age group of 21\u201330 years (78.76%,n<\/jats:italic>= 89).Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>(61.06%) was the most common organism isolated.
