Faeces from 24 neonates with proved necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), from 12 with clinically suspected NEC, and from 41 control infants were quantitatively cultured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. An important difference in colonisation with Klebsiella was found between the NEC groups and the control group. Although the cause of NEC is unknown, colonisation with Klebsiella seems to increase the risk.

Faecal bacterial flora in cancer of the colon.

Selective aerobic and anaerobic plate media were employed to isolate the predominant faecal flora of patients with cancer of the colon (CC), cancer with non-gastrointestinal involvement (NGI), and with non-malignant diseases (N). The CC and N groups did not differ significantly in either total aerobic or anaerobic counts. The CC group did have a significantly lower anaerobic/aerobic ratio compa...
