RESUMO
The in vitro activities of new beta-lactam antibiotics and new quinolones were studied against 96 Capnocytophaga strains, including a beta-lactamase-producing strain which was resistant to ampicillin, amoxicillin, carbenicillin, cephalothin, and cefamandole. All strains were susceptible to the combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, ureidopenicillins, cefoxitin, broad-spectrum cephalosporins, and imipenem. Cephalothin and cefamandole did not show good activity against most strains. All Capnocytophaga spp. were uniformly susceptible to the five new quinolones tested.
