An open study of pivampicillin (Pondocillin) as a treatment for acute lower urinary tract infection. 1983

J B Sutton

In a multicentre general practice study 158 females with acute, uncomplicated urinary tract infection received a 5-day course of pivampicillin 500 mg twice-daily (Pondocillin). Significant bacteriological cultures were obtained from forty-one patients before treatment and the original organism was eradicated in thirty-eight of these patients (93%). The mean symptom score was reduced from 7.33 to 1.18. Eleven patients (7%) reported side-effects. One patient ceased treatment after 4 days due to a rash. Pivampicillin, in a convenient twice-daily regimen, was confirmed as an effective treatment for acute lower urinary tract infection.

D001419	Bacteria	One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive.	Eubacteria
D014552	Urinary Tract Infections	Inflammatory responses of the epithelium of the URINARY TRACT to microbial invasions. They are often bacterial infections with associated BACTERIURIA and PYURIA.
