Objective:To study the effects of herba houttuyniae on the in vivo antibacterial activitiy of penicillin G and cefazolin in rabbits. Methods:25 healthy rabbits were divided into 5 groups, with 5 animals each. The rabbits of group 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were given a daily IV injection of herba houttuyniae (1 mL8226;kg1), penicillin G (0.12 g8226;kg1), herba houttuyniae (1 mL8226;kg1) and penicillin G (0.12 g8226;kg1), cefazolin (0.07 g8226;kg1), herba houttuyniae (1 mL8226;kg1) and cefazolin (0.07 g8226;kg1), respectuely, for 6 consecutive days. 3 ml of blood were than taken from the marginal vein of each rabbit and the antibacterial activities of the sera were measured by microbiological methods. Results:Herba houttuyniae itself was shown to have little antibacterial activity in vitro and in vivo, but it did very significantly enhance the in vivo antibacterial activity of penicillin G(P<0.01) . However, herba houttuyniae had no obvious influencon the antibacterial activity of cefazolin(P>0.05). Conclusion:Herba houttuyniae in combination with penicillin G, but not with cefazolin, was shown to have a synergistic antibacterial activity.
