Gastroenteritis due to S. newport occurred in 11 premature infants. Meningitis due to this organism developed in a twelfth infant after an incubation period of 1 month. Oral ampicillin (following parenteral penicillin G and kanamycin) was clinically effective as specific therapy in all 11 cases of gastroenteritis, but there was a recurrence of the organism in the stools of 9 of 11 infants during or after ampicillin therapy. No toxicity with ampicillin was found. At 2 months after the start of the disease 6 of 11 infants had positive stool cultures. Of the 10 followed for 1 year, 4 had positive cultures at 8 months and 1 at 12 months.
