[Isolation of enterococci from clinical materials and their susceptibility to antibiotics (author's transl)].

Three hundred and fifty-one strains of enterococci were isolated from 2,337 clinical materials including urine, blood, pus and other during 6 months of spring and summer in 1977. Urine was the most frequent source of the organism among them. As for species, S. liquefaciens was isolated most frequently (45.5%), being followed by S. zymogenes (26.5%) and S. faecalis (21.5%) in order. The susceptibility of the isolates was tested with 10 antibiotics. In general, the majority of the strains were resistant to several antibiotics, but almost all the strains were susceptible to ampicillin and benzylpenicillin. The susceptibility of S. liquefaciens, S. zymogenes and S. faecalis to 10 antibiotics was similar with each other in pattern, while that of S. faecium and S. durans was considerably lower.

[Contribution to the study of the haemolytic streptococci isolated from dogs (author's transl)].

The authors studied bacteriologically 740 specimens from dogs maintained at the central kennel of the Faculdade de Ciências Médicas e Biológicas de Botucatu, being the main subject the isolation of streptococci strains from the tonsilar, vaginal conjuctival and preputial secretions. Strains with the same serological properties showed a different biochemical properties, which allowed us to appoint different biochemical types inside a same serological group. On the other hand, it was also possible to detect through the precipitation capillary tube technique, the serological groups G, C, A, D and B, being the G group (73%) the most frequent one. Biochemical properties of the human G group streptococci compared with the canine G group streptococci showed a statistically significant difference in the reactions of fibrinolysis of human plasma, glicerol, sorbitol, esculin, mannitol, inulin, raffinose, salicin, trehalos, hydrolysis of the sodium hypurate, growth on 20% bile broth, and growth at 45 degrees C. The authors stress the utility of the fibrinolysis of human plasma test for the characterization of canine origin streptococci.
