Article Synopsis
- A study in Chile analyzed antibiotic effectiveness in septic patients suffering from ureterolithiasis-associated urosepsis, highlighting the need for better treatment options to reduce illness and death rates.
- The research involved 52 patients, mostly females with an average age of 52, and found that the majority had Escherichia Coli infections, while all gram-negative bacteria were susceptible to amikacin.
- The study recommends amikacin as the first-choice empirical treatment for this condition, while also advising caution due to its potential kidney toxicity and suggesting a combination of other antibiotics for high-risk patients.
