    Abstract

    Serological and biochemical classification of Esch. coli from the rectum and vagina of patients who developed a urinary infection after operation and the insertion of a self-retaining catheter showed that 13/20 urinary infections were caused by a type which had been present before operation in the rectum, vagina, or both.
