title: A clinical and bacteriologic evaluation of cefamandole therapy in serious skin and skin structure infections.
abstract: The results of this study suggest that the enhanced in vitro spectrum of cefamandole may be clinically advantageous, particularly when complex mixtures of aerobic and aerobic-anaerobic bacteria are present in the lesions of serious skin and skin structure infections. The reported incidence of satisfactory clinical and bacteriologic responses appears to justify the use of cefamandole as a single agent for the treatment of these infections.
