[Analysis of the annual volumes from 1950-1959 and 1970-1979 of the "Zentralblatt für Gynäkologie" with reference to changes in pathogens].

In order to analyse the germ change there have been analysed by way of comparison original articles from the "Zentralblatt für Gynäkologie" of the periods from 1950 to 1959 and 1970 to 1979. In the period from 1970 to 1979 the frequency of demonstrated anaerobic germs increased (12fold), of gram-negative germs as well (from 28% to 32%); in particular that applies to representatives of Enterobacteriaceae (especially E. coli). On the other hand the frequency of the demonstrated Mycobacterium tuberculosis decreased from 35% to 4%. At the same time a change of the character of the infections, partly with serious septic shock conditions, became evident. Information on the attack of Saccharomyces are almost exclusively available in the period from 1970 to 1979. Candida albicans dominates with 23% in the total evidence of mycobacterials. Their are mainly verbal information on an increase of the resistance of germs.
