    Author: McGregor JA.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1990 Mar; 35(3 Suppl):333-8. PubMed ID: 2319515.
    Abstract:
    In an open study, ticarcillin/clavulanate was used to treat upper genital tract infections in 91 women. The clinical success rate was 92% in outpatient-acquired salpingitis (pelvic inflammatory disease), 50% in salpingitis with tuboovarian abscess, 85% in postpartum endometritis, 87% in endometritis after chorioamnionitis and 90% in postoperative parametritis. The primary adverse reaction was diarrhea, in 10 patients. Among the 129 aerobes isolated, 18 (14%) were beta-lactamase positive, as were 32% (20/63) of the anaerobes.
