Abstract
The duration of antibiotic therapy for peritonitis is commonly decided on an empirical basis. There is obvious advantage in determining the shortest, yet most effective, period for such drug therapy. This study Is a comparison of short-course and long-course antibiotic administration following peritonitis produced by experimental rupture of the rabbit appendix.Keywords
