RESUMO
Objective To study the effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics, including the third generation Cephalosporin and Carbapenems, on intestinal enterococci in septic rats. Methods Ninety-one SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, scald group, scald group with 3 days of ceftriaxone treatment, scald group with 9 days of ceftriaxone treatment, scald group with 3 days of imipenem treatment, scald group with 9 days of imipenem treatment, and sepsis group, sepsis group with 3 days of ceftriaxone treatment, sepsis group with 9 days of ceftriaxone treatment, and sepsis group with 3 days of imipenem treatment, sepsis group with 9 days of imipenem treatment. All the animal were subjected to 30% TBSA Ⅲ degree scald injury on their back, followed by endotoxin challenge with a dose of 20mg/kg 24 hours after the burn injury. The animals were treated with intraperitoneal injection of ceftriaxone (60mg/kg, q12h) or imipenem (60mg/kg, q12h) 24h after the second hit with endotoxin. At the end of the treatment, intestinal enterococci in colon were cultured. The number and variety of the bacteria were also determined. Results The number of enterococci in the gut of the septic rats was significantly increased after the second hit with endotoxin, exceeding that of the rats in normal control group and scald group(P
RESUMO
Objective To study the effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics, including the third generation Cephalosporin and Carbapenems, on intestinal commensal bacilli in rats with sepsis. Methods Ninety-one SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, scald group, scald group with 3 days of ceftriaxone treatment, scald group with 9 days of ceftriaxone treatment, scald group with 3 days of imipenem treatment, scald group with 9 days of imipenem treatment, and sepsis group, sepsis group with 3 days of ceftriaxone treatment, sepsis group with 9 days of ceftriaxone treatment, and sepsis group with 3 days of imipenem treatment, sepsis group with 9 days of imipenem treatment.

At the end of the treatment, bacilli in the colon were cultured. The number and variety of the bacteria were also determined. Results The antibiotics obviously reduced the number of colibacilli(P
