    Antimicrob Agents Chemother 45:1394-401. 2001
    ..In addition, we have shown for the first time that a decrease in bacterial numbers also leads to a reduction in both abscess weight and inflammation...

    Lorna E T Stearne
    Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, P O Box 1738, 3000 DR, Netherlands
    Biochim Biophys Acta 1561:91-7. 2002
    ..We conclude that PEG-liposomes localise to a significant degree at the infection focus in our mouse model and may provide a new approach to the antimicrobial treatment of intra-abdominal abscesses...

    Lorna E T Stearne
    Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Erasmus MC, The Netherlands
    Antimicrob Agents Chemother 46:3712-8. 2002
    ..Possible reasons for the reduced activity of imipenem in vivo are discussed, and we conclude that standard susceptibility tests overestimate the efficacy of this antibiotic against the organisms present in these abscesses...

    Antimicrob Agents Chemother 49:3668-75. 2005
    ..In conclusion, the addition of G-CSF to a fluoroquinolone is not advisable since, depending on the virulence of the E. coli strains, this might detrimentally influence the outcome of therapy...
