[Multicenter research on cefoperazone efficacy and tolerance in the therapy of urinary and respiratory infections].

In this multicenter study the authors evaluated the clinical and microbiological efficacy and the local and general safety of cefoperazone sodium in 1,546 patients (946 males and 600 females, mean age 61.3 years) with lower respiratory tract (1,044) and urinary tract (539) infections.
