title: Strains of Alcaligenes faecalis from clinical material.
abstract: Six strains of Alcaligenes faecalis, unusually isolated from clinical material, are described. Alcaligenes faecalis is a Gram-negative catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile rod. It is commonly found in a watery environment and is rarely isolated from humans. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of the clinical A. faecalis isolates are presented.
