Abstract
The activity of MK-826 was compared to the activities of cefoxitin, ceftriaxone, imipenem, and meropenem against 363 gram-negative and gram-positive anaerobes by using NCCLS procedures. At least 98% of the strains were susceptible to the carbapenems. All strains of Clostridium perfringens , Fusobacterium nucleatum , Peptostreptococcus , and Sutterella wadsworthensis were susceptible to all agents tested.Keywords
