These samples passed through elemental and microscopic urinalysis and urine culture and reaching the following results: 53 positive cases where the main causative agent is Escherichia coli (77%), Proteus mirabilis (13%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (9%). Among the trigger risk factors of the UTI development was founded: sexual activity, voluntary urinary retention, recurrent UTI, inadequate vaginal hygiene, low liquid intake (25cc or lower), the use of intimate vaginal hygiene soaps. 42% of pregnant women showed UTI in the first three months; 28% showed UTI in the second trimester, concluding that the most frequent bacterial agent was Escherichia coli as a product of having intercourse more than five times a month. The UTI were more evident on the first trimester of gestation. Keywords: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), bacterial agents, risk factors, pregnancy.
