Abstract
Men (74) and women (26) with uncomplicated gonorrhea were treated with ceftizoxime sodium 0.5 g i.m. The cure rate was 99% and included successful treatment of 4 infections due to .beta.-lactamase producing organisms. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of ceftizoxime in vitro were very much lower than those of penicillin and cefuroxime; side effects were minimal. Thus, ceftizoxime is effective against Neisseria gonorrhoeae in vivo and in vitro.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
