Beta-lactam-resistant bacteria in patients with complicated appendicitis. In total, 2/10 isolates of the Streptococcus viridans group and 2/8 isolates of Enterococcus spp. presented resistance to ampicillin. 1/13 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed resistance to fluoroquinolones. No Candida spp. were isolated in any patient
