description The retrieval of bacteria from the lungs postmortem was examined in a population of alcoholics who had a medico-legal autopsy performed. The results were compared with non-alcoholic controls. Pneumococci were found more frequently in alcoholics, but in general there were no major differences. Proteus mirabilis was detected in three out of five alcoholics with unascertainable cause of death. It is speculated whether this species may cause septicaemia in some alcoholics due to abnormal splanchnicus circulation.
