Treatment of complicated urinary tract infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa--a comparison of the efficacy of ceftazidime with that of netilmicin.
Patients with exacerbations of chronic urinary tract infection due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa were treated for 10 days with either ceftazidime or netilmicin. Bacteriuria was eliminated in all 15 patients who received ceftazidime but recurred in 11. Of 13 patients treated with netilmicin, pseudomonas was eradicated in eight but recurred in six.
