ABSTRACT
A total of 100 cases were studied. Fallopian tubes removed at operation constituted a very good material to study the infections of upper genital tract. Along with fallopian tubes, HVS from same patients were cultured both for aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Bacteriological analysis of 100 cases of fallopian tubes and same number of HVS showed bacterial growth in 30 cases (30%) whereas in HVS samples growth was obtained in 50 cases (50%). In 66.67% of cases same bacteria were isolated both from HVS and fallopian tubes which strongly favours the theory of ascending infection. Out of all antibiotics ciprofloxacin showed the widest spectrum of activity (94.20%). All anaerobes were sensitive to metronidazole.
