Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To measure the incidence of ampicillin-resistant uropathogens in acute antepartum pyelonephritis and to determine if patients with resistant organisms had different clinical outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study of pregnant women admitted with pyelonephritis, diagnosed by standard clinical and laboratory criteria. All patients received ampicillin and gentamicin. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: A majority of uropathogens were ampicillin resistant, but no differences in outcomes were observed in these patients.
