                <p>Urinary tract infections(UTI) are the most common bacterial infections among
women in both pregnant and non pregnant states, among which asymptomatic bacteriuria is
the commonest .Symptomatic bacteriuria includes cystitis and pyelonephritis .UTI is a disease
of multiple etiology and is known for its recurrence despite the treatment. Every woman has
a 20% life time risk of developing UTI. A sincere effort has been put to understand the local
epidemiology of the organism and its susceptibility pattern so as to initiate an effective treatment.
1.To study the bacterial isolates of Urinary tract infection in pregnant women. 2.To study the
antibiogram of the bacterial isolates. The study was conducted among 100 pregnant women
who attended Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBG) outpatient department at a tertiary care centre,
Bangalore, India, over a period of six months. For isolating the bacteria, standard conventional
method of isolation and identification was followed. Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates
were determined using Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. The data was analyzed using
standard statistical package. Majority of the isolates were Escherichia coli (33.98%) followed
by Klebsiella species (19.41%), Coagulase negative staphylococcus (16.50%) and Enterococcus
fecalis(13.59%), Acinetobacter species(7.76%), Staphylococcus aureus (3.88%), Pseudomonas
and Enterobacter species were 1.9% each. Proteus being the least(0.97%). The isolates were
sensitive to Aminoglycosides (97.08%) and Nitrofurantoin (97.08%). The study suggests that the
common etiological agent for UTI in pregnant women was Escherichia coli and was sensitive
to Aminoglycosides and Nitrofurantoin.
