Progesterone metabolites and estriol were determined in urine and faeces collected daily
from three pregnant women (33–37 weeks) before and during ampicillin administration (2
g/day orally). Two of the three subjects showed marked changes in their faecal steroid
excretion during ampicillin administration: the faecal progesterone-metabolite pattern
changed from containing 69–79% unconjugated metabolites and 19–26% glucuronides
under control conditions, to high steroid sulphate content (28–44%); the faecal elimination of …
