Abstract
We studied on the isolation rates of enterococci from various clinical materials and their susceptibility to antibiotics during ten years since 1961.
Enterococci were isolated from urine, pleural and abdominal exudates, pus and secretes in high rate, but the isolation rate from blood or spinal fluid was low. Since 1963 the isolation rates of enterococci from various materials became slightly high.
Enterococci were resistant to various antibiotics, but almost all strains were sensitive to ampicillin and carbenicillin. Strains isolated from bilewere more sensitive to antibiotics than those from other materials. No changes were observed in susceptibility during ten years.
