    Journal: Minerva Med; 1992 Jun; 83(6):363-5. PubMed ID: 1630697.
    Abstract:
    Personal experience in peroperative antibiotic prophylaxis with aztreonam (Azactam) in 81 patients undergoing abdominal surgery of choice is reported. The usefulness, handiness and lack of side-effects of this parenteral drug are reiterated. The incidence of surgical wound infections was 2.5%, while that of associated infections was 6.1%. Considering these results, the use of aztreonam (Azctam) is recommended in peroperative prophylaxis as a drug of choice.
