Abstract
Introduction: urinary tract infections (UTI)are a common complication during pregnancy, which can increase maternal and fetal morbidity.

Methodology: A non-experimental, descriptive and cross-sectional research was carried out. e population consisted of 124 medical records of pregnant patients treated at the Sangolquí Hospital from January 2017 to April 2018, with positive reports of urine cultures. Results: the mean age of the participants was 24.75. E. coli was isolated in 73.39% of the samples. Most of the pregnant women were between 20 and 30 years old. Conclusion: Escherichia Coli was the most observed microorganism in positive urine cultures, establishing greater susceptibility to ceriaxone, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin; being more resistant to cefuroxime and ampicillin.
