Abstract
The incidence of bacteremia caused by enterococci has been noticably increased during the recent years. In this study nine cases with certain presdisposing factors such as malignancy, leukopenia and use of various antibiotics especially third generation cephaosporins and whom bood cultures yielded Enterococcus species were presented and it has been emphasized that especially third generation cephalosporins should be used carefully because of the risk of causing enterococcal bacteremia.
