title: [Studies on the resistance to bacteria at the university department for gynaecology in Bern, Switzerland (author's transl)].
abstract: The sensitivity studies of 706 cases from January 1, 1973 to December 31, 1977, at the University department of Gynaecology in Bern, Switzerland, were reviewed. The sensitivity studies were classified as to type of bacteria, site of infection and source of infection (hospital acquired or non-hospital acquired). The sensitivity of the bacteria to several antibacterial drugs was tested. E-coli was the leading cause of infection in 46.9% of the cases. The most frequent site of infection for both hospital acquired and non-hospital acquired infection was the urine. The number of hospital acquired infections was twice as high as the number of infections acquired outside of the hospital. No significant change in the sensitivity during the time of review was noted.
