Biological properties of Enterobacteriaceae strains as agents of suppurativeseptic infection in children

It was investigated the biological properties of 27 strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from 24 children with suppurative-septic infection from the Surgical Department of Dnieprodzerzhinsk Hospital № 7. Isolated microflora was presented by four bacteria species: Esсherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella оxytoca and K. pneumoniae. Esсherichia coli was the most widespread agent of suppurative-septic infection for children. All bacteria were the most sensitive to fluoroquinolones ІІ generation (norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin) and cephalosporins ІІІ generation (cefotaxim and cefoperazon)
