    the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was studied in a geriatric population composed of 60 women ranging in age from 60 to 90 years, with an average age of 70.4 years. In 13 of the 60 people bacteriruria documented asymptomatic [21.7 percent]. Of the 23 cases from the rural area, [26.08 per cent] showed asymptomatic bacteriuria, and, of the 37 cases from urban areas, 7 [18.91 per cent] presented this box. In our series, an increase in cases with asymptomatic bacteriuria was not evidenced with increasing age. The sensitivity of the chemical and bacteriologic urinalysis, for asymptomatic bacteriuria is 100 percent, and specificity is 85.36 percent. In 7 cases [53.84 per cent] Escherichia coli was isolated in 5 cases [38.46 per cent] Enterobcter was isolated, and Klebsiella isolated in one case [7.69 percent]. A direct relationship between increased urinary pH and the manifestation of asymptomatic bacteriuria was found. Antibiotic sensitivity was ruled by quinolones represented by ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin for Escherichia coli and Enterobacter. For the senibilidad Klebsiella was in charge of nalidixic acid, nitrofurantoin, chloramphenicol, rifampin and erythromycin
