RESUMONa gestação, a infecção do trato urinário (ITU) é de grande importância em função de sua elevada incidência nesse período de vida da mulher. O presente estudo teve por objetivos conhecer a incidência de ITUs em gestantes da cidade de Missal -PR, os fatores de suscetibilidade, assim como os principais agentes etiológicos envolvidos e sua sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos. Foram realizadas análises físicas, químicas, microscópicas, identificação bioquímica de bactérias, quando presentes, e antibiograma em amostras de urina de 50 gestantes. Verificou-se que 9 (18%) apresentaram infecção urinária, sendo destas, 5 (55,5%) assintomáticas. O principal patógeno responsável pelas infecções foi Escherichia coli, seguida de Enterococcus faecalis e Streptococcus agalactiae. O estudo revela a grande importância do diagnóstico precoce e tratamento adequado das ITUs, evitando assim, complicações à gestante e ao futuro concepto.Palavras chave: Gestação; Epidemiologia; Cistite; Pielonefrite. ABSTRACTIn pregnancy, urinary tract infection (UTI) is of great importance, due to its high incidence in this period of a woman's life. This study aimed to know the incidence of UTIs in pregnant women from Missal -PR, susceptibility factors, as well as the main etiological agents involved and their antimicrobial susceptibility. Physical, chemical, and microscopic analyses were performed, biochemical identification of bacteria, when present, and sensitivity in 50 pregnant women urine samples. It was found that 9 (18 %) of pregnant women had a urinary tract infection, and of which 5 (55.5%) asymptomatic. The main pathogen responsible for infections was Escherichia coli, followed by Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus agalactiae. The study reveals the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of UTIs in pregnant women, thus avoiding complications to the mother and fetus future.
