Acute cholangitis (AC) is potentially fatal. Microbiological identification and susceptibility to antibiotics is essential in every hospital to direct treatment (1). Our hospital is a third-level cancer center. A retrospective, analytical study of 30 patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiography with AC and positive biliary culture (BC) was performed over a period of six months.
