Resistance trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole was 80%, followed by ampicillin (71.4%) and ciprofloxacin (61.5%). The best answer antibiotics were amikacin (94.4%) and nitrofurantoin (93.3%). It was established that a significant relationship (p = 0.003, OR
= 2.53) between positive urine culture for E. coli and patients with fever, the 6.11% of the population showed malformation of the genitourinary tract. Conclusions: Escherichia coli was the most common agent in urinary tract infection, presenting high resistance to trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole. The most common malformation was mainly vesicoureteral reflux in children under two years old, also showed the importance of understanding local epidemiology and behavior of these bacteria, for adequate management and monitoring of children with urinary tract infection.
