These five patients were acute peritonitis, vaginal cuff, surgical field, soft tissue and bloodstream infection. The identification of microbiological methods known to S. paucimobilis was examined by the antibiotic sensitivity disk diffusion test. Antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated bacteria were the same. From the environment and environment cultures S. paucimobilis was isolated once from the use water as a hospital infection effect.
