المستخلص: Urinary tract infections are common during pregnancy, and the most common causative organism is Escherichia coli. Asymptomatic bacteriuria can lead to the development of cystitis or pyelonephritis. All pregnant women should be screened for bacteriuria and subsequently treated with antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin, Trimethprim-sulfamethaxazole or cephalexin. Pyelonephritis can be a life-threatening illness, with increased risk of perinatal and neonatal morbidity. Recurrent infections are common during pregnancy and require prophylactic treatment. Pregnant women with urinary group B streptococcal infection should be treated and should receive intrapartum prophylactic therapy. Objectives: Identifying the most frequent bacterial pathogenic agents of urinary tract infection (UTI) in pregnant and non-pregnant women isolated from Sabratha and Alegailat hospitals and to determine the antibiotics sensitivity patterns for both groups. Among four hundred and thirty-eight (438) pregnant and non-pregnant women screened, 186 (42.46%) were positive urine culture, including 96 (51.61%) pregnant women and 90 (48.38%) non pregnant women, According to gestation age, the number and percentage of cases with positive urine culture were 19 (19.7%) in the first trimester, 27 (28.1 %) in the second trimester, 50 (43.7%) in the third trimester. The susceptibility patterns seen in our study seem to suggest that it is absolutely necessary to obtain sensitivity reports before initiation of antibiotic therapy in cases of suspected UTI.
