  • Title: Clinical evaluation of mezlocillin.
    Author: Thadepalli H, Rao B.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1979 Nov; 16(5):605-10. PubMed ID: 526001.
    Abstract:
    The safety and efficacy of intravenous mezlocillin were determined in 25 patients with aerobic, anaerobic, and mixed infections. Included were pleuropulmonary, urinary tract, skin, and soft-tissue infections, osteomyelitis, and abdominal and breast abscess. Nineteen patients (76%) were cured without recurrence as determined by clinical and bacteriological parameters. In three, the infection recurred (12%); two patients failed (8%), and in one, it was indeterminate (4%). No serious adverse effects were noted except for severe thrombophlebitis in three (12%) patients. Our preliminary data suggest that mezlocillin is a safe (except for thrombophlebitis) and effective antibiotic in the treatment of aerobic anaerobic, and mixed infections.
