[Influence of cefoperazone on the fecal flora in children]. 1984

N Lambert-Zechovsky, and E Bingen, and M C Proux, and Y Aujard, and H Mathieu

A differential quantitative study was used to evaluate the effects of parenteral cefoperazone upon children's fecal flora. Fecal specimens were obtained from 16 patients, before, during and after therapy. Cefoperazone therapy was associated with major changes in fecal flora. There was marked reduction or suppression to undetectable levels of Enterobacteria, Staphylococci and Streptococci in 13 patients. During therapy, yeasts were selected or acquired in 7 cases. 5 to 10 days after cefoperazone was discontinued, the fecal flora was virtually the same as before treatment. Thus, cefoperazone should prove very useful in the treatment of septicemia due to intestinal overgrowth.
