RESUMEN
Urinary tract infections [UTIs] are common in pregnant women, associated with an increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and perinatal mortality. The objectives of this study are: To identify the organisms in the urine in mid trimestric pregnancy, to test for the sensitivity to antibiotics for better maternal health care. This is a prospective cross sectional, descriptive, hospital based study. The population of this study were the women admitted to [W.M.T.H] during the period of study and matched the selective criteria. The results showed that the most common sensitive drugs to the bacteria by culture are amikacin and ofloaxacine. The growth of the organisms in the media was found that it occurred in 88/119 [74%]. The common isolated organisms were the E-coli 21/88 [17.6%], klebsiella.spp 14/88 [11.8%]. It was concluded that urine culture is useful in guiding therapy. This can be particularly important in pregnancy where the choice of safe treatment alternatives is limited
