[Treatment of urinary infections with ticarcillin and clavulanic acid (Clavucar) by the intramuscular route]. / Trattamento delle infezioni urinarie con ticarcillina ed acido clavulanico (Clavucar) per via intramuscolare.

20 patients suffering from hospital-acquired UTI received intramuscularly ticarcillin 1 g and clavulanic acid 200 mg for 8 days. At the end of antimicrobial therapy 84.2% of the pts presented sterile urine. After 2 weeks 68.4% of the pts continued to have sterile urine. No significant side effects were registered. The results demonstrate that the association of ticarcillin with clavulanic acid can be considered a useful option in hospital acquired UTI.
