title: [The occurrence of the Enterobacter genus rods in the clinical materials and materials taken from hospital environment].
abstract: Due to continuously existing essential meaning of strains of Enterobacter spp. in human infections we investigated the occurrence of Enterobacter spp. in different clinical materials and in materials taken from hospital environment. Amongst 26,025 materials taken from patients there were 249 (1.0%) Enterobacter strains and respectively amongst 954 environmental materials--there were 11 (1.2%) Enterobacter spp. In isolated Enterobacter strains the percentage occurrence was: hospital materials: E. cloacae--65.6%, E. agglomerans--12.1%, E. aerogenes--6.25%, E. sakazakii--5.4%, E. gergoviae--1.3%, E. amnigenus--0.9%, E. intermedius--0.9% and Enterobacter spp.--7.6%; outpatient materials: E. cloacae--72.0%, E. sakazakii--12.0%, E. agglomerans--8.0%, E. aerogenes--4.0% and E. amnigenus--4.0%; hospital community: E. cloacae--63.6%, E. agglomerans--18.2% and E. sakazakii--18.2%.
