== Background ==

* Bacteria growing in urine culture without evidence of infection
* Common, especially in older patients

== Management ==

* Only requires treatment in pregnancy (see [[Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy]]) and prior to invasive urological procedures
* Sometimes done for renal transplant patients, but overall evidence likely favours harm

* See also [[Diagnostic stewardship of urine cultures]] for approaches to reducing inappropriate collection of urine cultures and thus reduce the inappropriate treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria
