Abstract
About 276 sputums analysed from 1984 to 1989, 61% of them have been positive. Beside the usual germs of the oropharynged flora, 115 bacteria susceptible of being pathogenic have been isolated. The kinds which are frequently found are Klebsiella = 31 (27%), Escherichia coli = 20 (17%), Enterobacter = 19 (17%), Staphylococcus aureus = 17 (15%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa = 12 (10%).
