......from AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN

Treatment
Pregnant women should be treated when bacteriuria is identified (Table 217,18). The choice of antibiotic should address the most common infecting organisms (i.e., gram-negative gastrointestinal organisms).

The antibiotic should also be safe for the mother and fetus. Historically, ampicillin has been the drug of choice, but in recent years E. coli has become increasingly resistant to ampicillin.19 Ampicillin resistance is found in 20 to 30 percent of E. coli cultured from urine in the outpatient setting.20 Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin) is a good choice because of its high urinary concentration.

Alternatively, cephalosporins are well tolerated and adequately treat the important organisms. Fosfomycin (Monurol) is a new antibiotic that is taken as a single dose. Sulfonamides can be taken during the first and second trimesters but, during the third trimester, the use of sulfonamides carries a risk that the infant will develop kernicterus, especially preterm infants.

Other common antibiotics (e.g., fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines) should not be prescribed during pregnancy because of possible toxic effects on the fetus.

clindaymycin is not normally for UTIs so if the boards is behind the times you go with most benign beeing ampicillin.
