Antimicrobial therapy for gynecologic infections. ACOG Technical Bulletin Number 153--March 1991.
Therapeutic antimicrobial regimens for pelvic infections must provide coverage for aerobic streptococci, common gram-negative enteric bacilli, and anaerobic organisms. Careful attention must be given to antibiotic choice as well as the dose and duration of therapy. The judicious use of a brief perioperative course of antimicrobial prophylaxis is effective in preventing infection following certain gynecologic surgical procedures.
