Zusammenfassung:The main objective of this work was to determine the prevalence and correlation between urinary tract infections and the presence of Actinomyces suis in the urine of 1,745 pregnant sows in southern Brazil. Urinary infections were present in 29.54 % of the sows raised in confinement and in 16.46% of the sows raised outdoors. The overall prevalence of urinary infections was 28.31%. For the presence of A. suis , 22.24% of the sows raised in confinement and 6.71% of the sows raised outdoors had the bacteria in their urine. The prevalence of A. suis in all sows was 20.63%. Negative correlation was demonstrated between the presence of urinary infections and the presence of A. suis . In other words, sows which had urinary infections had lesser prevalence of A. suis (13.67%) than those sows without urinary infections (23.12%). In the same way, sows positive for A. suis had lesser prevalence of urinary infections (17.43%) than those negative for the bacteria (28.62%). Only 3.60% of the sows had urinary infection and A. suis in the urine simultaneously. KEY-WORDS: Swine; cystitis; reproductive disorders; pielocystitis; epidemiology. O presente trabalho teve o objetivo principal de verificar a prevalência e a correlação entre infecção urinária e presença da bactéria Actinomyces suis na urina de 1.745 porcas gestantes da Região Sul do Brasil. A prevalência de infecção urinária foi de 29,54% para as porcas criadas em confinamento e de 16,46% para as porcas criadas ao ar livre. A prevalência geral de infecção urinária foi de 28,31%. Observou-se a presença do A. suis na urina de 22,24% das porcas criadas em confinamento e em 6,71% das porcas criadas ao ar livre. A prevalência geral de A. suis foi de 20,63%. Observou-se correlação negativa entre infecção urinária e A. suis , ou seja, as porcas que apresentaram infecção urinária tinham menor prevalência de A. suis (13,67%) do que as que não a apresentaram (23,12%). Da mesma forma, as porcas portadoras de A. suis tinham menor prevalência de infecção urinária (11,43%) do que as não portadoras (28,62%). Apenas 3,60% das porcas examinadas eram positivas simultaneamente para infecção urinária e A. Suis . PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Suínos; cistite; transtornos reprodutivos; pielocistite; epidemiologia.
