Abstract
Anaerobic gram(+) cocci were found to be part of the normal indigenous flora of the intestinal tract in healthy adults (19.6%) but they were rarely isolated from healthy neonates (6.1%). A larger variation of species was also present in adults. Their installation in the newborn's intestine seems to be partially inhibited by factors that are not at present very clear.
