Amdinocillin plus cefoxitin versus cefoxitin alone in therapy of mixed soft tissue infections (including diabetic foot infections).
In a randomized comparative trial, 45 patients were treated with amdinocillin plus cefoxitin or cefoxitin alone for bacterial soft tissue infections. Most patients were diabetic and had polymicrobial foot infections. The combination of amdinocillin plus cefoxitin was active in vitro against 71 percent of the isolates obtained before therapy as compared with 65 percent for cefoxitin alone. The combination demonstrated synergy for 29 percent of the isolates tested. A satisfactory clinical response occurred in 90 percent and 71 percent of patients treated with the combination regimen and cefoxitin, respectively, (p greater than 0.1). An increase in serum creatinine thought to be due to interstitial nephritis occurred in one patient treated with the combination regimen. The combination of amdinocillin and cefoxitin was effective in mixed soft tissue infections including diabetic foot infections.[1]References
