Abstract
A 3-year retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of cefepime plus a fluoroquinolone for treating bone and joint infections caused by Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) in 28 patients. Intra-operative cultures yielded primarily Pseudomonas spp. and Enterobacter cloacae. Full recovery (cure) was observed in 79% of patients. There were no serious adverse effects and no resistant organisms were isolated. The results of the study confirmed the safety and effectiveness of cefepime combined with a fluoroquinolone for the treatment of bone and joint infections caused by Gram-negative bacilli.Entities:
