Multilaboratory evaluation of the in vitro activity of 13 β-lactam antibiotics against 1474 clinical isolates of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria

The in vitro activity of 13 β-lactam antibiotics against 1474 recent clinical isolates was evaluated in a multilaboratory study. The most active antibiotic tested in this study was imipenem (98.5% of the strains were susceptible), followed by ticarcillin-clavulanate (91.4%), cefoperazone (90.0%), ce...
