%X Objective: To evaluate the occurrences of asymptomatic bacteriuria among healthy pregnant women attending ante-natal clinic of General Hospital Minna, Nigeria. To test for sensitivity to commonly used treatments. Methodology: Two hundred mid- stream urine samples were collected in a sterile universal bottle. The cultured plates were examined. The morphological and biochemical characteristics were determined. Results: The bacteria isolates recovered from urine samples includes E. coli 32 (51.6%), Klebsiella sp 19 (30.6%), S. aureus 3(4.8%) and P. aeruginosa 8(12.9%). Gentamicin, Amoxycilin and Impenem were the most sensitive antibiotics. Conclusion: Infections caused by isolated bacteria can be successfully treated with Gentamicin, Amoxycillin and Impenem antibiotics. Recommendation: The study recommends periodic testing for asymptomatic bacteriuria, for pregnant women.
