Susceptibility of Eikenella corrodens to newer beta-lactam antibiotics

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1980 Nov;18(5):832-3. doi: 10.1128/AAC.18.5.832.

Abstract

In vitro susceptibility testing of 28 strains of Eikenella corrodens by the agar dilution technique showed that all strains were uniformly susceptible to penicillin, ticarcillin, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, N-formimidoyl thienamycin, and moxalactam and resistant to clindamycin and cefadroxil. Cefoperazone, piperacillin, and mezlocillin showed good activity, with some strains relatively resistant. Bacampicillin and cefamandole showed relatively poor activity.
