The in vitro activity of 13 beta-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%), ceftazidime (87.9%), cefotaxime (87.7%), ceftriaxone (87.0%), ceftizoxime (86.3%), cefotetan (78.5%), ampicillin-sulbactam (77.9%), cefoxitin (73.5%), cefuroxime (70.9%), cefonicid (64.5%), and cefazolin (57.9%).

D015378 Imipenem Semisynthetic thienamycin that has a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including many multiresistant strains. It is stable to beta-lactamases. Clinical studies have demonstrated high efficacy in the treatment of infections of various body systems. Its effectiveness is enhanced when it is administered in combination with CILASTATIN, a renal dipeptidase inhibitor.
