The clinical and microbiological effect of temocillin versus cefotaxime in adults with febrile urinary tract infection, and its effects on the intestinal microbiota: a randomized multicenter clinical study in Sweden
Background The use of third-generation cephalosporins, such as cefotaxime, is associated with an increased risk of selection for antimicrobial resistance, so alternative antibiotics must be considered. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bowel colonization with third-generation cephalosporin-resistant pathogens after using temocillin – an alternative antibiotic to cefotaxime that is potentially less likely to […]
