Abstract
Specimens from 152 abdominal infections were examined to determine which groups of endogenous bacteria participate in infection emanating from different sites in the gastrointestinal tract. A notable finding was the predominance of anaerobic microflora from infections of ischemic versus perforated small bowel. Empiric antibiotic treatment for ischemic bowel should include focused coverage for anaerobes.Entities:
