Comparative efficacy of piperacillin and penicillin G in treatment of gonococcal urethritis. 1981

S J Landis, and R Ramphal, and B J Mansheim, and K H Rand, and J W Shands

The comparative efficacy of 2 g of piperacillin and 4.8 X 10(6) U of penicillin G in the treatment of uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis was assessed in a randomized prospective study. Sixty-five evaluable patients received piperacillin, and 55 received penicillin G. All patients received either therapy were cured of gonorrhea. We conclude that piperacillin is as efficacious as aqueous procaine penicillin G in the therapy of uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis.

D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.
