Approximately it is presented approximately in 1 to 2 % of the pregnancyand it puts at risk both mother and fetus.Objective: to determine bacterial resistance to antibiotics in pregnant women withacute pyelonephritis.Methods: descriptive and prospective study in which was evaluated the resistance tothe antibiotics used in patients with diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in the hospitalizedservice of the Cl赤nica de Maternidad Rafael Calvo, Cartagena, Colombia, since July of2008 to July of 2009. The participants signed informed consent.Results: there were included 118 patients, age range: 14 每 33 years old, with anaverage of 21 years old. 12% of the patients had 16 years old or less. 90.5% of thepatients were in the second or third trimester of the pregnancy. The most common germsidentified were: E. coli 44%, Klebsiella ox赤toca 22%, Klebsiella ozaenae y pneumoniae11% each one, Proteus mirabilis 6% and other diverse germs 4%. Ampicillin was theantimicrobial with major resistance: 73%, follow by cefradine: 47%. Pseudomonasaeruginosa was resistant for ampicillin and cefradine in all the cases. Germs resistant toCefuroxime and Cefoperazone/sulbactam were not found.Conclusion: it was found high bacterial resistance to the antibiotics that are usedtraditionally as first generation (ampicillin and cefradine) for the treatment of acutepyelonephritis in pregnancy women.
