Objective: to determine the prevalence of urinary tract infections and antibiotic resistance profile in pregnant women treated at the Rocalab Laboratory in San Martín de Porres, 2023. Materials and methods: The study was descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional, with a sample of 90 pregnant women who met the selection criteria. For the diagnosis of urinary infection, urine sediment, urine culture and antibiogram were used. Results: A prevalence of 55.6% of urinary infection in pregnant women was found. 60.3% of the cases corresponded to women between 18 and 35 years old (p=0.165), and the third trimester was the most affected period with 100% of the cases (p=0.008). Urinary infection presented significant leukocyturia (≥5 leukocytes/field) (p<0.001). Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen (42%), followed by Proteus mirabilis (16%) and Enterobacter spp. (14%). High resistance of Escherichia was identified. coli to Amoxicillin (80%) and Nalidixic Acid (75%), while antibiotics such as Gentamicin and Amikacin showed low resistance (14%). Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a high prevalence of urinary infection and high antibiotic resistance in pregnant women.
