Presentation
A higher risk of treatment failure for antibiotic therapy was found for patients presenting to the ED with symptoms of cIAIs lasting >24 h. Alternative antimicrobial agents should be considered for treating these patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Noncompliance
These authors concluded that because females most at risk for OC failure or noncompliance may not be easily identified and the true incidence of such events may be under-reported, and given the serious consequence of unwanted pregnancy, that recommending [pdr.net]
Reasons for exclusion among patients randomized to the ampicillin/sulbactam group were noncompliance (2 patients), patient's request to stop treatment (2), patient left hospital (2), concomitant illness (1), use of prohibited medication (1), and no pathogen [academic.oup.com]

ADMINISTRATION Injectable Administration Ampicillin; sulbactam is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. [pdr.net]
- Pathologist
The results from a College of American Pathologists survey with one E. coli isolate tested at different institutions also indicated greater susceptibility to AUG than to A/S. These agents are thought to be equally efficacious clinically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Constipation
The most common complaints were insomnia, drug-withdrawal syndrome, constipation, dyspepsia, anxiety, and nausea, all of which were mild to moderate in severity. [academic.oup.com]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Hepatomegaly
Abdominal ultrasound showed echo-free cavities throughout the hepatic parenchyma; abdominal computed-tomography (CT) scan showed hepatomegaly and multiple radiolucent spaces. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
- Palpitations
Patient & Family Education Report chills, wheezing, pruritus (itching), respiratory distress, or palpitations to physician immediately. Do not breast feed while taking this drug without consulting physician. [robholland.com]

- Photophobia
A 52-year-old man was admitted to a local hospital with headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, photophobia, and confusion after a sudden fall. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
The isolate was resistant to antibiotics other than ampicillin-sulbactam and colistin, suggesting drug resistance due to carbapenemase production by OXA-23. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Insomnia
The most common complaints were insomnia, drug-withdrawal syndrome, constipation, dyspepsia, anxiety, and nausea, all of which were mild to moderate in severity. [academic.oup.com]
Treatment
An antibiotic therapy, also covering anaerobic pathogens, is the treatment of choice. In this study we compared moxifloxacin (MXF) and ampicillin/sulbactam (AMP/SUL) concerning efficacy and safety in the treatment of AP and PLA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
A patient with multiple, pyogenic hepatic abscesses is described, and the pathophysiology, etiologies, clinical and laboratory manifestations, and management of the disease are reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Given the mixed bacterial etiology of such infections in both drug users and nonusers and given the need to initiate treatment before the results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests are known, empirical therapy with broad-spectrum antimicrobials may [academic.oup.com]
Epidemiology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate epidemiology, resistance, and treatment outcomes of Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia treated with imipenem-cilastatin or ampicillin-sulbactam for 72 hours or longer. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Ampicillin and Sulbactam for Injection may be administered by either the IV or the IM routes. [druglib.com]
Pathophysiology
The patient remained under continuous observation and cardiac monitoring throughout her reaction, thus providing unique insight into the pathophysiology of myocardial injury caused by anaphylaxis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Brief Summary: The efficacy and safety of a single dose of ampicillin/sulbactam compared to a single dose of cefuroxime at cord clamp for prevention of postcesarean infectious morbidity has not been assessed. [clinicaltrials.gov]
BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of a single dose of ampicillin/sulbactam compared to a single dose of cefuroxime at cord clamp for prevention of post-cesarean infectious morbidity has not been assessed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In one study, taking 500 mg of Saccharomyces boulardii twice daily enhanced the effectiveness of the antibiotic vancomycin in preventing recurrent clostridium infection. [mottchildren.org]
