Abstrakt: Thirty patients with anaerobic sepsis were treated with intravenous and oral metronidazole. No other antimicrobial agents were given. Mixed growths of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria were isolated from 22 patients and anaerobes alone from 8 patients. Very satisfactory clinical results were seen in most patients, though in many surgical drainage was also essential. Only 2 of the 22 patients from whom both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria were cultured later required specific therapy for the aerobic organisms. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
