Ceftazidime activity in experimental pseudomonas pyelonephritis in rats.
In albino rats with experimental unilateral pyelonephritis caused by a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the intramuscular administration of 25 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg of ceftazidime three times a day for 3 days reduced the bacterial counts in the damaged kidney, the undamaged kidney and in the bladder urine.
