Abstract
In examining 66 penetrating colorectal injuries in which the peritoneum was almost always exposed to the normal gastrointestinal microflora it appears that both clindamycin and cephalothin were equally effective in maintaining a relatively low rate of postoperative sepsis when administered early, in combination with an aminoglycoside agent and in addition to intra-operative antibiotic irrigation.
