[Importance of Streptococci and in particular of the Enterococci in urinary tract infections].
Out of 1336 bacterial strains isolated by urine cultures, nearly 23% resulted to be Gram-positives of which 11.8% are Enterococci and 3% Streptococci of Group B. The isolated Enterococci resulted to be sensitive mostly to amoxicillin and resistant to cephalosporins and tetracycline. The authors consequently agree with recent recordings of an accentuated incidence of Enterococci on infections of the urinary tract.
