title: Synergistic bactericidal effect of cephalexin and normal cord serum (NCS) against Escherichia coli K1 strains isolated from children with urinary tract infections (UTI).
abstract: Investigations were performed on the bactericidal activity of cephalexin (keflex) and normal cord serum (NCS) against Escherichia coli K1 strains isolated from UTI. A synergistic interaction of the antibiotic and NCS was found against the strains resistant and sensitive to the serum.
