Abstract
The occurrence of coliform bacilli carrying resistance-transfer factors (R factors) in children was studied. The frequency of R+ coliform bacilli as causes of urinary tract infection acquired outside hospitals was similar to than in adults from the same geographical area and in the same years. The frequency of R+ coliform bacilli in the children''s feces was also similar to that in the adult population and oral chemotherapy produced similar changes in the fecal flora.
