RESUMO
Drug resistant strains of E. coli were freeze dried for long term preservation. Certain drug resistance markers were maintained after freeze drying while others were not. Streptomycin and sulphonamide resistance markers resisted freeze drying. Ampicillin, cephelaxin and neomycin resistances developed very frequently and except gentamicin all the markers were lost in varying percentage after freeze drying.

Two hundred and fifty eight newborn babies were studied for the presence of retinal hemorrhages between 1-3 days of birth. The overall incidence of retinal hemorrhages was found to be 18.9%. It was observed that the incidence of retinal hemorrhages was higher in unassisted vaginal deliveries than in assisted births. Also, a two fold higher incidence was noted in term infants as compared to preterm babies. No association was seen with birth asphyxia.
