✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A review of the agents causing septicemia in cancer patients during a nine‐year period (1968–76) revealed that gram‐positive organisms (especially S aureus) have become the most frequent isolates during the last two years. This unanticipated increase (P < 0.001) in the number of gram‐positive isolates could not be related to horizontal transmission nor to changes in patient characteristics or therapy.
