[Antibacterial therapy of liver abscesses of varying etiology]

The investigation of microbial flora and its sensitivity in 196 patients with the kidney abscesses of various etiology showed expediency of the use of aminoglycosides, ampicillin and lincomycin. The local use of colloid iodine promoted rapid inhibition of the microbial flora. The dynamic observations showed an increase in the number of gramnegative pathogens by the 7th--10th day of the treatment. Rational surgical intervention, the antibiotic use with control of the microbial flora sensitivity, specific chemotherapy provided a decrease in the lethality up to 6.7 per cent.
