Microbiology and antibiotics in infectious abdominal emergencies.
The appropriate treatment of intra-abdominal infection is often confusing and controversial. Much of the controversy is due to the availability of a substantial number of newer, broad-spectrum antimicrobials. An understanding of the spectrum of activity, toxicity, and clinical efficacy of these drugs is critical in the selection of therapy for the treatment of intra-abdominal sepsis.
