Gram-positive microorganisms isolated from patients treated in the Department and Clinic of Rehabilitation at Rydygier Medical University in Bydgoszcz, Poland, 2000-2001.

Background. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the occurrence of Gram-positive microorganisms isolated from patients hospitalized in the Department and Clinic of Rehabilitation at the Rydygier Medical University in Bydgoszcz. Materials and methods.

[Haemolytic and proteolytic properties of Serratia spp. rods].

For over fifty years Serratia spp. rods have increasingly been isolated from clinical specimens. The isolation has arisen mainly from hospitalised patients.

Analysis of the bacterial strains isolated from urine samples of hospitalized and ambulatory patients.

Bacteria of Enterococcus spp. are now much more often isolated from various diagnostic materials in systemic infection, both in hospitalized and in ambulatory patients. The study included 571 enterococci strains isolated from urine in 1997.

[Susceptibility to antibiotics of some species of Enterobacter isolated from various clinical materials].

We investigated 185 strains of Enterobacter spp. (E. cloacae--143 strains, E.

[Occurrence and susceptibility to antibiotics of Streptococcus pyogenes strains from purulent infections in soft tissues].

Occurrence and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of Streptococcus pyogenes strains isolated from purulent infections of soft tissue were examined. The specimen was from hospital and ambulatory patients in 1996-1998. In general, 3665 samples were examined: 1841 wound swabs, 870 pus samples, 753 ulcer swabs and 101 from the decubitus ulcers.
