Abstract
|
|
|
In order to determine the recent trend of anaerobic bacteria isolation and the
susceptibility of Bacteroides to antimicrobial agents, an analysis was made on the data
of routine anaerobic vultures at Yonsei Medical Center during the period of September
1980 to August 1981. The following results were obtained.
1) A total of 336 isolates of anaerobic bacteria were obtained from various clinical
specimens. Among the isolates 38.7% were gram-positive cocci and 53.3% were
gram-negative bacilli.
2) Peptococcus magnus(20.3%) and P. asaccharolyticu(16.5%) were the frequently
isolated gram-positive cocci and B. fragilis(70.4%) and B. thetaiotaomicron(15.1%) were
the frequently isolated gram-negative bacilli.
3) Anaerobic bacteria were frequently isolated from specimens of abdomen and female
genital tract. Peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscess were frequent clinical findings.
4) Among the anaerobe positive specimens, 22.4% yielded anaerobes alone while the
remaining 77.5% also yielded aerobic bacteria.
5) Most of the B. fragilis and B. thetaiotaomicron isolates were susceptible to cefoxitin
and chloramphenicol, but resistant to tetracycline.
