Infection in the urinary tract is an important cause of morbidity in adults and they are frequent in women, where women are more likely to counteract a UI, which makes it easier for germs from outside to reach the urinary system such as bacteria Gram negatives and Escherichia Coli has a high tendency to relapse and become resistant to the use of antimicrobials, UIs are one of the 10 most common diseases deprived of liberty in Bolivia, because they do not have a good infrastructure, health services do not supply to inmates since they do not have good information and education about UI ignoring the risks, complications that can cause a UI (Cuidateplus 2015; Méndez Villaseñor C. 2017; Calizalla Vargas M. 2018).

This study aimed to determine the prevalence, the most frequent UTI factors in San Roque prison inmates. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out on July 10, 2019, in which all inmates of the prison from 22 to 72 years old participated (n = 43).

For the determination of urinary infections, urine collection bottles were delivered with prior indication for the correct collection of the sample. Subsequently, a general urine test (EGO) (physical, chemical, microscopic examination) and Gram stain was performed, as a final procedure the culture was done to determine the causative germ.
