Abstract：
:The bacterial infections constitute a serious problem for the surgeon: the choice of antibiotic drugs is really important and, as often as possible, should be guided by antibiotic sensitivity tests. In this study we used sulbactam-ampicillin (Unasyn) who is an antibiotic combination between sulbactam, inhibitor of beta lactam and ampicillin. The preliminary results were as follows: Unasyn was administered to 21 hospitalized selected patients, 16 women and 5 man, who had clinical signs of intraabdominal infection, wound infection and subphrenic abscess after digestive surgery. In these patients were isolated the following organisms: Staphylococcus epidermidis (8), Staphylococcus aureus (11), serratia (1), streptococcus (3), E. coli (3). The daily dosage of Unasyn was 3-12 g/die administered in three to four divided doses, and was determined by the severity of infection, the antibiotic susceptibility of the causative organism(s) and the condition of the patient. Each dose was given by slow i.v. infusion in 15-30 minutes. Our success rate was 100%, and neither systemic nor local side effects were recorded.
