COMPARISON OF ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF AC-1370 WITH OTHER CEPHEMS AGAINST VARIOUS BACTERIA RECENTLY ISOLATED FROM CLINICAL MATERIALS

Abstract

We studied the antibacterial activity of AC-1370 against 586 strains of S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, C. freundii, P. vulgaris, P. mirabilis, P. morganii, P. rettgeri, P. inconstans, B. fragilis, Bacteroides sp. isolated from clinical materials in 1982, and compared the findings to those with other cephems.
In our study with the above-mentioned clinical isolates, AC-1370 was not found to be greatly advantageous in any respect over other cephem antibiotics-especially, the cephem antibiotics of the third generation.
