abstract：:During a 3-year period, 771 rectal swabs were taken from abacteriuric school-children. Out of 709 E. coli strains, each isolated from one faecal specimen, 102 were found to be resistant to one or more antibacterial agents, and 607 to be fully sensitive. Another 204 resistant strains were found by selection for antibio...
