  • Title: Comparison of sisomicin and gentamicin in bacteriuric patients with underlying diseases of the urinary tract.
    Author: Klastersky J, Hensgens C, Gerard M, Daneau D.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1975 Jun; 7(6):742-7. PubMed ID: 1155918.
    Abstract:
    Sisomicin and gentamicin (2 mg/kg) were administered in a random fashion to patients with bacteriuria superimposed on abnormalities of the urinary tract. Cure was achieved in a similar number of patients in both groups, but superinfection and reinfection with resistant microorganisms was more frequent in patients receiving gentamicin. Untoward side effects were not frequent in this series, especially if the serious underlying urological disease of most patients is taken into consideration. The susceptibility of the causative pathogens to the antibiotic administered and the severity of the underlying disease were the most important factors in the outcome.
