ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections are one of the most common pathologies in women notably in pregnant women. It is due to the proximity of the urethra to the Vagina. The present study aimed to determine the PREVALENCE and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacteria involved in Urinary tract infections in pregnant women in Porto-Novo. A short structured questionnaire was administered to record particulars of sampled patients Cytobacteriological analyses were carried out on 115 urine samples collected from pregnant women visiting the hospital. Bacteria isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility test using the disc diffusion method. Nine bacteria species were revealed to be associated with urinary tract infections. These mainly include coagulase negative Staphylococcus (37.5%), Staphylococcus aureus (25%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (11.54%) among cocci, Escherichia coli (10.58%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (8.65%) among bacilli. Almost all isolates were multidrug resistant. Women who are at their third pregnancy seemed to be more exposed to urinary tract infections and most of them were infected during the last three months of their pregnancy (49.41%). These findings are of very serious public health importance for the community as well as hospital centres to improve PREVENTION measures of urinary tract infections and to adopt appropriate antibiotherapy in pregnant women.
