Popis: Background: Calculus biliary tract disease continues to be a major health concern. It is normal to see predisposing factors such as cirrhosis, ileal resection in the West; while infection predominates in South East Asia as a cause. We prospectively examined gall stones in this study to investigate the causes and role of bacteria in the disease of gall stone disease. Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted in department of surgery, Sri Guru Ram Das University of Health Sciences, Sri Amritsar, India, from November 2018-August 2020. Total 50 cases were selected and operated by lap/open cholecystectomy were included in this study. During cholecystectomy bile was aspirated and was sent to laboratory for culture. Gallstone retrieved from the specimen was classified based on morphological appearance. Results: Gallstone disease found to be common in female 92% and in the age group of 4-50 years. Bile of gallstones patients is often infected. In this study though morphologically cholesterol stones were commonest but mixed stones were associated with highest infection rates. Most common bile infecting bacterium in all kinds of stones was found to be E. coli 60.8% followed by klebsiella 17.3% and proteus 17.3%. All the organisms cultured were sensitive to cephalosporins, quinolones, aminoglycosides and penicillin group of antibiotics. Conclusions: Bile culture was positive in 46% of the cases. Morphologically cholesterol stones were commonest 52% but mixed stones were associated with highest infection rates (80%). Most common bile infecting bacterium in all kinds of stones was found to be E. coli .
