RESUMO
The activity of two cefoperazone-sulbactam combinations against anaerobic bacteria was tested and compared both with that of cefoperazone alone and with that of other commonly used antimicrobial agents. Imipenem was the most active of the tested agents, followed by chloramphenicol, metronidazole, and cefoperazone-sulbactam (90 to 100% of bacterial growth inhibited). Clindamycin and cefoxitin inhibited approximately 80%, cefoperazone inhibited 63%, and penicillin G inhibited 47% of the strains tested. The agents were variable in activity against the Bacteroides fragilis group, with percents susceptible as follows: cefoperazone-sulbactam, imipenem, metronidazole, and chloramphenicol, 99 to 100%; cefoxitin and clindamycin, approximately 80%; cefoperazone, 49%; and penicillin G, 15.5%.
