| Abstract: | Comparative susceptibility of microflora isolates from patients with complicated urinary tract infections to cefepime, other cephalosporins, amikacin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin was studied. Isolates in the diagnostic titers (5 x 10(4)-5 x 10(8)) from the patients treated with cefepime as etiotropic monotherapy were identified. The treatment course was 7 to 14 days. The daily dose was 1 to 2 g. The clinical and bacteriological efficacies of the cefepime therapy equaled to 93.2 and 85.4% respectively. |
