Urinary tract infection is among the most common infectious diseases in clinical medicine, and knowledge of its epidemiology and the sensitivity profile of the etiological agents is mandatory. The aim of this study was to identify the most frequent etiological agents and the profile of sensitivity to antimicrobial agents of the bacteria isolated from urine cultures from outpatients at the University Hospital of Brasília between 2001 and 2005. From analyses at the hospitals microbiology laboratory, there were 2,433 positive urine cultures. Escherichia coli was the most commonly isolated bacteria (62.4%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (6.8%) and Proteus mirabilis (4.7%). Escherichia coli showed the highest sensitivity to amikacin (98.6%), gentamicin (96.2%), nitrofurantoin (96.3%) and the quinolones ciprofloxacin (90.9%) and norfloxacin (89.8%), with low sensitivity to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (50.6%). The others bacteria presented similar sensitivity profiles. In conclusion, Escherichia coli was the most commonly isolated bacteria, and it was highly sensitive to aminoglycosides, nitrofurantoin and quinolones.
