Abstract

The two year experience with 2091 biological cultures and the related antibiograms has been reported on the basis of a prospective, computerized study. The incidence of germs coming from each fluid collected has been analyzed as well as the sensibility to various antibacterial drugs. The gram negative such as Escherichia Coli, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas, Proteus, Klebsiella, Serratia and Enterobacter resulted more frequently isolated; in addition a revival of gram positive strains (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus) was noted too.
