21 cases with respiratory infections caused by known organisms resulted in good response in 15 cases (71.4%), improvement in 4 cases (19.0%), ineffectiveness in 2 cases and in the efficacy being 90.4%.
There were good therapeutic effects in the cases caused by beta-hemolytic streptococcus (10), Streptococcus pneumoniae (6), Hemophilus influenzae (1), Enterococcus (2) infection, but the 2 cases with Klebsiella pneumoniae and anaerobic Bacteroides infections did not response to bacampicillin.
