A differential quantitative analysis was used to study the effect of @entity3524 on the fecal flora in 26 hospitalized @entity1 ranging from two days to four years of age. Fecal specimens were obtained before, during and after therapy. This study was evaluated in comparison to 41 @entity1 of the same age and from the same environment without antibiotic treatment or signs of @entity281 . The fecal flora of the control group showed qualitative and quantitative stability. Two groups of species were distinguished: a group in which the upper limit was less than or equal to 10(7) bacteria/g of stool ( @entity4005 , Enterobacter, other enterobacteria, Staphylococcus, @entity11763 ) and a group with less than or equal to 10(10) bacteria/g of stool (anaerobes, @entity526 , Streptococcus D). This stability of the control group of subjects allowed us to interpret the variations of microbial concentrations during and after @entity3524 treatment. In previous studies, we showed in the newborn a substantial risk of @entity295 of intestinal origin when overgrowth occurred, especially with @entity4005 . With @entity3524 there was a decrease or a disappearance in 65% of @entity526 and a slight @entity4005 and Enterobacter. This fact was of great interest in the treatment of endogenous secondary @entity295 . We observed an appearance of @entity11763 (nine @entity796 , two @entity15250 , one @entity11763 ) in 12 cases among the 26 @entity1 treated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
