Abstract

The basic considerations in use of antibiotics for biliary tree infections are that the antibiotic:

  1. 1.

    should be active against the pathogens causing the disease,

  2. 2.

    should be active in conditions (i.e., bile) of the infection,

  3. 3.

    should be delivered at site of infection in appropriate concentration,

  4. 4.

    should be present in an active molecular form.
