Cholecystitis and cholelithiasis are frequently met surgical conditions in North India. The presence of bacteria in bile at the time of surgery or invasive diagnostic procedures predisposes to complications like septicaemia. Aim of this study was to study the bacteriological profile -aerobic & anaerobic in the bile of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. The present study included 50 patients admitted in the department of general surgery undergoing cholecystectomy with preoperative diagnosis of biliary tract disease. Details of the operative findings were recorded. The bile from gallbladder was cultured for the presence of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The bacteriological examination of the bile yielded positive culture in 16 out of 50 cases (32%). Aerobic bactobilia was seen in 15 out of 16 patients (93.75%). Anaerobic bactobilia was seen in 4 out of 16 patients (25%). The infection was mostly due to single microorganism. In 9 out of 16 cases (56.25%) the growth was purely aerobic. E.Coli was the most commonly isolated aerobic bacteria (36%).

“…The incidence of infection in chronic cholecystitis was determined both by cul tures of duodenal drainage. material as well as bacteriological findings at surgery (118). The authors observed in this series of 259 cases that there was little difference in the symptoms experienced by the patients with sterile gall bladders and those with infected gall bladders.…”
