Abstract
Pregnant women are most commonly infected with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Poor maternal and perinatal outcomes can come from it.One hundred and fifty urine samples were collected in a sterile procedure from pregnant women in north Thiqar province. With a duration period from September to December 2023. Several data were recorded from patients such as age, pregnancy duration, occupation and residence. In general they were 40 samples (26.66%) detected as Gram negative bacteria (G-ve) , while 20 samples(13.33%)showed non growth and 90 samples(60%) Gram-positive bacteria, among Gram negative bacteria: (20) isolates (13.33%) were Escherichia coli, (8) isolates (5.34%) were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7) isolates (4.67%) were Proteus mirabilis and finally (5) isolates (3.33%) were Klebsiella pneumoniae. Aim of this study isolation and identification of Gram-negative bacteria, which caused UTI in pregnant women by morphology, culturing and Vitek -Ⅱ.
Key words: bacterial infection, UTIs, pregnant women.
