title: [Escherichia coli a forgotten pathogen in septicemia].
abstract: The aim of the retrospect study was to analyse the incidence of E. coli bacteremia in eight wards of SPSK 1 ACK AM in Gdansk from 2002 to 2004. We analyzed the incidence of bacteremia, patients outcome, source of infection and antimicrobial susceptibility. During the study period we detected 268 patients with E. coli bacteremia (8,0% of all bacteremic patients). 11,2% of them died within 24-48h after positive blood culture. Incidence of bacteremia was 1,7/1000 patients and the highest level achieved in Hematology Unit--33,2. The main portal of entry was genitourinary tract (24,3%) and gastrointestinal tract (21,8%). The strains (n=263) were least susceptible to ampicillin (33,3%), co-trimoxazole (68,4%), amoxycillin with clavulanic acid (69,3%) and ciprofloxacine (78,9%).
