Abstract
The susceptibility to Imipenem of 99 strains of oral Streptococci isolated from the odontogenic infections were measured according to the standard method of Japan Society of Chemotherapy.
All of them showed MIC's less than 1.56μg/ml, proving the susceptibility to Imipenem to be quite favorable.
Ccnsidering the pharmacokinetic parameter of Imipenem, the agent satisfies the standard necessary for the transient bacteremia during and following the dental surgical procedure.
