 Fifty (50) samples of urine were collected from the pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Federal Medical Centre Umuahia with a sterile bottle, to determine the Asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women population. Out of 50 samples tested, 18 [38%] were found to have Asymptomatic bacteriuria. While 32 (62%) had non bacteriuria. The frequency of isolation of organism was Staphyloccocus aureus (11 .4%), Esherichia co/i (10.5%), Streptococcus (6.2%) and pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.4%). Pregnant women in their third trimester had the highest prevalent of asymptomatic bacteriuria . The age 31-36 years had the highest with respect to age while farmers had the highest with respect to occupation.
