In patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria, a greater persistence of infection was found when treated with ampicillin 63.34% against 36.36% observed in patients treated with nitrofurantoin. Pregnant patients with 13 weeks presented the highest incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria with a frequency of 31.82%. Conclusions.
