title: [Bacteroides melaninogenicus, during Fournier's gangrene].
abstract: In two patients (L.C., case No. 5834/215/90 and I.J., case No. 18760/140/91) Fournier's gangrene was diagnosed. From samples of necrotic and stinking secretion, strains of Bacteroides were isolated in anaerobic conditions. Application of metronidazole for treatment and surgical cleaning of the wound resulted in healing of one patient, while the second died.
