Urinary tract infection is an inflammatory process of the organs involved, caused by different types of microorganisms, especially enterobacteria. Objective. The purpose of this article is to know the frequency of UTI with respect to gender, age and bacterial presence and their resistance profile in patients attending the "San José" laboratory in the city of Azogues-Ecuador. Materials and Methods. A descriptive, cross-sectional, documentary-secondary study was applied in patients of both sexes and different age ranges. The final sample of positive isolates was 210 patients, the data obtained were processed in SPSS software version 25.0 for tabulation and analysis. Results. A higher percentage of positive isolates was determined in women with 93.7%. The age group most affected was adulthood with 50.5 %, followed by the elderly and young adults with 21.4 % and 11 %, respectively. The etiological agent with the highest incidence was Escherichia coli with 70.95 % with resistance to SXT, the remaining percentage corresponded to Providencia spp, Klebsiella spp, Enterobacter spp and Proteus spp. The therapeutic option for enterobacteria was fosfomycin, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid and nitrofurantoin. Conclusion. The study made it feasible to obtain real results regarding UTI, confirming the presence of Escherichia coli as the main etiological agent and its prevalence in women
