[The correlation of bacteriobilia/wound infections in elective biliary surgery].

The authors report their experience concerning the cultural study of bile samples taken during elective biliary surgery. All the operations were carried out after a randomized preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis. Among the 138 cases examined the presence of surgical infections (wound infection) was taken into account. A lack of correlation between the germs present in the bile and those isolated from samples of complicated cases, was registered. However, the Authors emphasize that, although antibiotic prophylaxis gives a reduced percentage of postoperative infections, it is unable to sterilize the bile.

[Aztreonam and clindamycin in short-term antibiotic prophylaxis in colorectal surgery: results of a multicenter studies].

The Authors studied the effects of a short-term prophylaxis (Aztreonam + Clindamycin) administered to 259 patients operated on for colo-rectal diseases. Thirteen wound sepsis (5.15%) and 49 different infections (19.44%) occurred in this group of patients. The study confirms the link between P.N.I. greater than 50 and the incidence of wound infections. The incidence of urogenital sepsis was correlated with the catheterization period (greater than 6 days), operative time (greater than 200 min.), hospitalization (greater than 12 days) and age (greater than 70 years). General tolerance to the antibiotics was good.
