title: [Growth of enterococci in normal and iron saturated serum].
abstract: Among 20 strains of genus Enterococcus isolated from different sources 12 strains multiplied in iron unsupplemented normal human serum. The excess of iron did not increase the rate of multiplication. Three strains survived in serum and growth of five strains was inhibited. The siderophores production had no effect on the multiplication of enterococci in serum unsupplemented with iron.
