<p>Aztreonam is indicated in the treatment of the following infections caused by susceptible aerobic Gram-negative micro-organisms<br />
<br />
<strong>Urinary tract infections:</strong>&nbsp;Pyelonephritis, cystitis (initial and recurrent) and asymptomatic bacteriuria (including those due to pathogens resistant to the aminoglycosides, cephalosporins or penicillins).<br />
<strong>Gonorrhea:</strong>&nbsp;Acute uncomplicated urogenital or anorectal infections.<br />
<strong>Lower respiratory tract infections:</strong>&nbsp;Including pneumonia, bronchitis and lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.<br />
<strong>Skin and soft tissue infections:</strong>&nbsp;Postoperative wounds, ulcers and burns.<br />
<strong>Meningitis:</strong>&nbsp;Caused by Haemophilusinfluenzae or Neisseria meningitidis.<br />
<strong>Gynecological infections:</strong>&nbsp;Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), endometritis and pelvic cellulitis.<br />
<strong>Intra-abdominal infections:</strong>&nbsp;Peritonitis.<br />
<strong>Bacteremia/ septicemia:</strong>&nbsp;Septicemia caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Proteus mirabilis, Serratia marcescens and Enterobacter species.<br />
<strong>Bone and joint infections:</strong>&nbsp;Osteomyelitis,septic arthritis.<br />
<br />
Aztreonam is also indicated for adjunctive therapy to surgery in the management of infections caused by susceptible organisms. Patients with serious Pseudomonas infections may benefit from concurrent use of Aztreonam and an aminoglycoside because of their synergistic action.</p>
