Effect of trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole on vibrio clearance in cholera (El Tor): a comparative study
Abstract:
The efficacy of trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) has been compared with that of tetracycline and chloramphenicol in 175 bacteriologically confirmed cases of cholera admitted to the Infectious Diseases Hospital Delhi. Vibrio cholerae, biotype El Tor, serotype ogawa, were isolated from all the patients. TMP-SMX showed greater in vitro inhibition and earlier eradication from the intestinal tract and is recommended as a suitable vibriocidal agent against cholera.
