title: Penetration of cefonicid into serum, salpinges, cervix and vaginal tissue.
abstract: Cefonicid is a new cephalosporin that, given in adequate concentrations is able to kill some pathogens such as Gram-positive cocci and many Enterobacteriaceae. In this study we have evaluated 40 patients receiving 1 g of cefonicid i.m. at various times before abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy. The results of the present study indicate that a single dose of 1 g of cefonicid given intramuscularly is useful as prophylaxis and treatment of gynecological infections.
