Abstract

Of 185 vaginal and 13 wound swabs obtained from febrile females after delivery and abortions, 140 (75.6%) vaginal and 10 (76.9%) wound swabs were positive for bacteria. Infection caused by a single bacterium was found in 100 (71.4%) and mixed infection in 40 (28.5%). E. coli was mainly isolated followed by Staph. aureus and Klebsiella. Fosfomycin was the most effective antibiotic against E. coli and Gentamycin against Staph. aureus.
