Urinary tract infections (UTIS) are a common problem in pregnant women. UTIs are of special significance in pregnancy because of the severe complications they cause to the mother and the baby. 240 antenatal women with symptoms and signs of UTI were included in this study carried out from June 2011 to November 2012 at Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences & P.G Research centre. The midstream samples of urine were collected and sent for culture and antibiotic sensitivity. Significant bacteriuria was found in 18 out of 240 urine samples. Of these 18 isolates, Escherichia coli was found to be the commonest causative organism.
