aztreonam and Wounds, Gunshot

aztreonam has been researched along with Wounds, Gunshot in 2 studies

Aztreonam: A monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic originally isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum. It is resistant to beta-lactamases and is used in gram-negative infections, especially of the meninges, bladder, and kidneys. It may cause a superinfection with gram-positive organisms.
aztreonam : A synthetic monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic (monobactam), used primarily to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. It inhibits mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall, thereby blocking peptidoglycan crosslinking.

Wounds, Gunshot: Disruption of structural continuity of the body as a result of the discharge of firearms.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Aztreonam was administered at a dosage of 2 g every 8 hours and gentamicin at 5 mg/kg for the first 24 hours and then adjusted by serum monitoring to a peak of 6 to 8 micrograms/mL and a trough of less than 2 micrograms/mL; all patients received 900 mg of clindamycin every 8 hours."2.67Superiority of aztreonam/clindamycin compared with gentamicin/clindamycin in patients with penetrating abdominal trauma.
