title: [Use of piperacillin-tazobactam in abdominal surgery].
abstract: Piperacillin/tazobactam (P/T) was used in the monotherapy of 40 patients with various inflammatory diseases of the abdominal cavity organs. P/T was administered as dropwise intravenous infusions in a single dose of 4/0.5 g 3 times a day for 5 to 17 days. In 82.5 per cent of the patients with infection of the abdominal cavity: severe postoperative purulent wounds, peritonitis of various etiology (biliary, serous-fibrinous, hemorrhagic fibrinous), postnecrotic cyst of the pancrease, abscesses of the liver and subhepatic space P/T proved to be highly efficient. The P/T monotherapy resulted in practically complete eradication of anaerobic microbes, coagulase negative staphylococci, enterobacteria and nonfermenting bacteria except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the inflammation foci.
