    Author: Burke BM, Kessler DL, Cirulli C, Bracken RB.
    Journal: J Antimicrob Chemother; 1989 Apr; 23 Suppl D():35-8. PubMed ID: 2722722.
    Abstract:
    This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of cefmetazole in comparison with cefoxitin in the parenteral treatment of patients hospitalized with acute urinary tract infections. Of the 49 evaluable patients, 27 were randomized to cefmetazole and 22 to cefoxitin. There was clinical success in 26 (96%) patients and bacteriological cure in 22 (81%) patients receiving cefmetazole. This compares with clinical success in 21 (95%) patients and bacteriological cure in 17 (77%) patients randomized to cefoxitin. There were no adverse reactions associated with either antibiotic. This study indicates that the clinical and bacteriological outcome was similar.
