ABSTRACT

Similar changes in the periurethral and vaginal microflora were observed in 19 women with recurrent urinary tract infection following treatment with norfloxacin (NOR) or pivmecillinam (PIV). Escherichia coli strains were suppressed by both treatments. Staphylococcus spp. and enterococci colony counts increased following PIV treatment in the periurethral flora but remained stable with NOR.
