title: [Blood cultures-bacteriological and drug resistance culture (author's transl)].
abstract: Blood cultures of 24 patients from the Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de ciências Médicas e Biológicas de Botucatu showed a prevalence of gram-negative isolates (83%) over gram-positive (16%). Among the microorganisms Salmonella typhimurium was the most frequent (25%) followed by Klepsiella sp. (21%) and Escherichia coli (17%).

Regarding drug resistance gentamycin revealed more active than other antibiotic tested.
