Abstract:
:Cefmenoxime, a new third-generation cephalosporin, was used as a single drug in the therapy for female genital tract infections. Therapeutic response was considered satisfactory in 21 of 22 cases of pelvic inflammatory disease, six of nine tuboovarian abscesses, two of three severe wound infections, and all five cases of endometritis. Overall, 34 of 39 patients responded. The peak serum antibiotic levels in this study ranged from 15.8 to 64 (average 48.7) micrograms/mL, and the trough level ranged from 0.9 to 4 (average 3.1) micrograms/mL. Cefmenoxime was tested in vitro against 424 isolates of anaerobes including 208 strains of bacteroides of which 80 were Bacteroides fragilis. Cefmenoxime inhibited the growth of 90% or greater of the organisms (minimal inhibitory concentration 90) at less than or equal to 64 micrograms/mL. The minimal inhibitory concentration for 75% of B fragilis was 32 micrograms/mL. This study suggests that cefmenoxime as a single-drug therapy is effective in the treatment of female genital tract infections caused by aerobic (including the gonococcus) and anaerobic bacteria.
