title: [Aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora in acute abdominal illnesses].
abstract: 366 specinmens taken from patients suffering from acute abdominal illnesses who had undergone operations were examined. Bacterial pathogens were isolated from 318 specimens. Aerobic bacteria were isolated from 53.8% specimens. Anaerobic bacteria were isolated from 12.6% specimens. Mixed bacterial flora were isolated from 33.6% specimens. Among aerobic bacteria E. coli and Streptococcus faecalis were most often isolated. Among anaerobic bacteria Bacteroides fragilis, Peptostreptococcus spp. and Peptococcus spp. were most often seen.
