| Summary: | A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Medicine, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, for degree of Master of Science in Medicine. === Analysis of organisms involved in hospital infections has shown that Gram -positive bacteria have assumed an increasingly important role. Examples that have been recognised as important pathogens are staphylococci,enterococci, streptococci, Corynebacterium jeikeium and Leuconostoc species. Methicillin resistance in staphylococci has become a major problem in certain hospitals. Viridans streptococci continue to be the most frequent cause of native valve endocarditis. Leuconostoc species are being increasingly isolated from blood culture specimens. === IT2019 |
