[Analysis of aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora colonizing drains after surgical abdominal incisions].
Aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora of post-operative incisions with drainage were examined. From each of 28 patients three specimens were taken; during operation (smear from peritoneal cavity), liquid from drain (taken at 3-th day after operation) and smear from drain taken at the end of drainage. Enterococci, Enterobacteriaceae spp. and anaerobes, especially Bacteroides spp. were most often isolated from specimens taken during operation. Enterococci and coagulase negative Staphylococci-often resistant to methicillin, were most often isolated from specimens taken at the end of drainage.
