title: [Use of antibiotics and nitrofurans in treating acute and chronic cholecystitis].
abstract: Sixty-two patients with acute cholecystitis and 108 patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis were examined. High levels of contamination of the bile, gallbladder mucosa and gallstones were shown. E. coli, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus were most frequent among 20 species of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Preoperative sanation of the hepatoduodenal area with antibiotics did not result in complete elimination of the bacteria in the bile, gallbladder mucosa and gallstones. The use of nitrofurans and especially furazolidone and furagin in the preoperative period prevented the microbial growth in the specimens collected during the operations. The data of the study allow recommending the use of furazolidone and furagin for preoperative sanation of the biliferous tract.
