Abstract
In vitro studies carried out in this Department confirmed the high activity of mecillinam against Salmonella spp. As a result we set up a study to investigate the efficacy of mecillinam in patients suffering from enteric fever. To date 13 out of 15 patients with typhoid or paratyphoid fever have been successfully treated with this new amidinopenicillanic acid antibiotic.Keywords
