Abstract
High vaginal swabs from 439 women in early labour with in tact membranes admitted to the Jamahiriya Maternity Hospital in Benghazi yielded 23 species representing 14 bacterial genera and the yeast, Candida albicans. That lactobacilli (77.6%) was the most commonly encountered isolate, followed by Staphylococci, Strep. faecalis, C. albicans, Esch. Coli, and diphtheroids, was established. Staph. aureus and candida were invariably associated with vaginal discharge and pruritis; cephaloridine, ampicillin and miconazone were determined suitable for dispensing by sensitivity testing. The significance of these findings are discussed.
