| bacterial pathogens associated with secondary peritonitis in lagos university teaching hospital (luth). | secondary peritonitis is a common and serious form of intra-abdominal infection, often associated with high morbidity and mortality. the overall patient outcome has not markedly improved in spite of advances in patient management. there is therefore need to study the pattern of bacterial pathogens associated with secondary peritonitis in lagos university teaching hospital (luth) and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern as that would help in formulation of empiric antibiotic policy on peritoniti ... | 2006 | 17319352 |
| antibiotic susceptibility of clinical isolates of prevotella bivia in lagos, nigeria. | the susceptibility of 40 clinical isolates of prevotella bivia to 11 anti-anaerobic agents was determined by disk diffusion and agar dilution methods in accordance with the nccls (1990) recommended guidelines. with the disk diffusion method all the p. bivia tested were susceptible to rifampicin, cefoxitin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin and metronidazole. twelve (30%) isolates were resistant to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone while 2 (5%) each were resistant to tetracycline and erythromycin. worthy of ... | 1996 | 8835108 |
