[Two cases of pelviperitonitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae].

Streptococcus pneumoniae is known to be a common component of the indigenous flora of the oropharynx. Pneumococci are most notable for their role in causing otitis, sinusitis, meningitis, and inflammation of the respiratory tract. Meanwhile, Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrate a wide potential of virulence and they have been isolated from various clinical specimens, for example, in arthritis. This paper describes two cases of pneumococci being found in pelviperitonitis. A Streptococcus pneumoniae strain was found to be sensitive to ampicillin, cefazolin, ceftriaxone, erythromycin, oxacillin, trimethyl/sulfa.
