Cefprozil hydrate

The effect on the bacterial flora tonsils antimicrobial therapy with penicillin or a cephalosporin of second generation (cefprozil) was examined. Sixty children scheduled for tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus participated in a prospective randomized study, they divided into three groups. One group received no treatment, and the others received either penicillin or cefprozil for 10 days before surgery. The patient's tonsil core was cultured for aerobic bacteria. Beta-hemolytic streptococcus A (GABHS) were 15/20 (75%) was isolated from treatment, 20/11 (55%), penicillin and 20/02 (10%) of cefprozil group (p < 0.001). producing bacteria thirty-two beta-lactamase recovered from 19/20 (95%) were treated untreated, 33 to 17/20 (85%), penicillin and treat six 20/04 (20%) with cefprozil (P <0.01). streptococci (AHS) GABHS alpha-hemolytic inhibitors were treated less frequently isolated from patients with penicillin. These data illustrate the ability of a cephalosporin second generation GABHS eliminate, as well as beta-lactamase producing bacteria while maintaining AHS.
