چکیده
A double-blind randomised trial was carried out among 46 patients undergoing elective colonic surgery; 27 patients received prophylactic metronidazole and 19 received placebo. Anaerobic infections did not develop in any of the metronidazole-treated patients, but did develop in 11 (58%) of 19 controls who were subsequently successfully treated with metronidazole.

Metronidazole in the prevention and treatment of anaerobic sepsis.
Clinical trials were carried out in order to determine the value of metronidazole in preventing the development of anaerobic infections after surgery. Following a successful controlled trial of hysterectomy patients, among whom the prophylactic use of oral metronidazole resulted in a reduction of the anaerobic sepsis rate from 25% to nil, further trials were carried out with patients having urg...
متن کاملAntibiotics with a selective aerobic or anaerobic spectrum have different therapeutic activities in various regions of the colon in interleukin 10 gene deficient mice.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Multiple rodent models implicate resident intestinal bacteria in the pathogenesis of chronic immune mediated intestinal inflammation. Specific pathogen free (SPF) interleukin 10 gene deficient (IL-10(-/-)) mice develop colitis, which does not occur in the germ free (GF) state. We investigated whether broad or narrow spectrum antibiotics affect onset and progression of diseas...

متن کاملComparison of Metronidazole and Ceftizoxime in Prophylaxis of Post-Hysterectomy Infections
Ceftizoxime is the standard agent used in prophylaxis of infections after abdominal hysterectomy. Metronidazole could be used instead of ceftizoxime for this matter. To compare these two drugs, in a randomized clinical trial, 34 patients received metronidazole suppositories (1g) and 34 patients received intravenous ceftizoxime (1g) before surgery. There were not any significant demograp...

The objective of the present multicenter observational study was to assess postoperative infections as a function of risk factors and antibiotic prophylaxis under everyday clinical conditions. 2513 patients from 114 centers in Germany who received infection prophylaxis prior to elective colonic resection were included in the study between 1st September 1996 and 30th September 1997. In the descr...
