This research was objective to isolate and identify with the characterization of microbial associated with urinary tract infection from pregnant women and their susceptibility test. Fifty urine samples were collected from the pregnant women. Urine sample culture was done for all 50 patients included in this study. Urine samples were collected from The Educational Baghdad Hospital. The identification of pathogenic isolates was done with standard microbiological methods. Susceptibility test was done by the (disc diffusion method). Microbial isolated from pregnant women with a high percentage of bacteria isolated was Escherichia coli accounting for 17 (34%), Klebsiella (n=11; 22%) followed Staphylococcus (n=8; 16%) and Proteus (n=7; 14%). while no growth was (7) urine samples. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of isolates showed Escherichia coli isolates were sensitive to Gentamycin with zoon inhibition (22mm) and Ofloxacin (19mm), and nitrofurantoin (17mm), Klebsiella pneumonia sensitive to Gentamycin in zoon inhibition (22mm), Ofloxacin in zoon inhibition (18mm) while Proteus mirabilis were sensitive to Gentamycin(10 mm) and resistance for others antibiotics respectively. While the staphylococcus it was sensitive to Gentamycin (10mm), Amoxicillin (5mm) and resistance to Ofloxacin, and Penicillin Respectively. Thus, for all the bacterial isolates, Gentamycin and Ofloxacin best of them from this finding underscore the need for frequent urine examination for pregnant women and continuous maintenance of high standards of personal hygiene.
