[Preoperative prophylactic antibiotics reduce septic complications of colorectal operations (authors' translation)]. 1980

E Hancke, and F Stelzner

On the preoperative day before colorectal operations (n = 36), 3 g neomycine and 3 g erythromycine were administered as oral prophylactic antibiotics. No antibiotics were administered to the controls (n = 24). The number of postoperative septic complications was reduced after preoperative prophylactic antibiotics. There were two abscesses of the abdominal wound, one fecal fistula, and two anastomotic disruptions in the control group but only two abscesses of the abdominal wound in the antibiotic group. No toxic effects were observed during this trial.

D004917 Erythromycin A bacteriostatic antibiotic macrolide produced by Streptomyces erythreus. Erythromycin A is considered its major active component. In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits. This binding process inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with translocation of amino acids during translation and assembly of proteins.
