Abstract
SUMMARY Cephalexin is a new cephalosporin antibiotic which is absorbed when given by mouth. One hundred and eighty strains of bacteria causing urinary tract infections were tested for sensitivity to cephalexin using a tube dilution technique. Approximately 70 per cent of strains were inhibited by 10 mcg. cephalexin per ml. or less. Ten per cent of organisms were resistant to 25 mcg. per ml.

In younger male urological patients diseases with symptoms of urinary tract infection without bacteriuria were predominant, whereas prostatitis and urinary tract infections were less frequent, and in middle-aged men, urolithiasis was especially frequent, while an increasing proportion of elderly men had prostatic hypertrophy, urinary tracts infections, and recurrent/chronic pyelonephritis.
