A case of bacteremia caused by Cedecea davisae is presented. This is the first reported case of bacteremia caused by this organism.
Streptococcus equinus, a non-enterococcal streptococcus, was isolated with increased frequency in a pediatric population.
A three-month survey was conducted to determine the distribution of organisms associated with urinary tract infection in both a hospitalized and an out-patient pediatric population. Of 2,671 consecutive urine specimens, 1,365 were from hospitalized patients and 1,306 from out-patients. Six hundred twenty-one cultures (23.2%) had 10,000 organisms/ml or greater; this represents 298 or 21.8% of the in-patient cultures and 323 or 24.7% of the out-patient cultures. Forty-seven of the significant growth urines were polymicrobic; 2% of the in-patients' urines showed mixed growth as opposed to 1.5% of the out-patients. E. coli was the most frequently isolated organism. Differences in the distribution of species of organisms are discussed.
The results of serologic analysis of 246 extrarespiratory isolates of streptococci (non-group A or D) obtained from pediatric patients are presented. Watson's double enzyme method was used to obtain the extracts of the organisms for Lancefield grouping. Ninety-two and six tenths percent of beta reacting streptococci were groupable; 77.8 per cent of gamma (nonreacting) were groupable; only 20.6 per cent of the alpha reacting streptococci were groupable. The majority of the groupable streptococci belonged to Lancefield group B (49.6 per cent), although significant numbers of group F (11.4 per cent) and group G (11.8 percent) were present. The significance of the organisms in a pediatric population is discussed.

A large number of yeasts, including a variety of species other than Candida albicans, were isolated from clinical specimens. C. tropicalis and Torulopsis glabrata were each found one-third as frequently as C. albicans. A schema is presented which made possible, by simple procedures, the identification of the great majority of the isolated yeasts. Preliminary isolation and differentiation was aided by the use of molybdate-agar medium. The use of the schema by diagnostic bacteriological laboratories is discussed.
