In vitro susceptibility of Acinetobacter species to various antimicrobial agents

K V Rolston et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1986 Nov.

Abstract

The in vitro activity of 18 antimicrobial agents against 40 clinical isolates each of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratum and Acinetobacter lwoffi was studied. Most of the newer 4-quinolone derivatives were extremely active against these organisms. Newer beta-lactam agents, such as cefpirome, BMY 28142, and BRL 36650, were also extremely active, inhibiting all strains at clinically achievable levels. Most agents were two- to fourfold more active against A. lwoffi.
