Abstract
We evaluated moxalactam in 62 patients with puerperal or postabortal genital infections. In all patients, the initial dose was 6 g/day. In 84% of patients, we found anaerobes in genital specimens. Of aerobic isolates, only enterococci were resistant. Among anaerobes tested, only two isolates (a Clostridium leptum and a Bacteroides disiens) had minimal inhibitory concentrations of greater than or equal to microgram/ml. Good clinical responses occurred in 56 of 62 (90%). Moxalactam was well tolerated with little local irritation and minimal hepatic, renal, or hematological abnormalities.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
