Synergistic bactericidal effect of cephalexin and normal cord serum (NCS) against Escherichia coli K1 strains isolated from children with urinary tract infections (UTI).
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.
