Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine the in vitro activity of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid compared to that of four newer antimicrobial agents (ampicillin, azithromycin, cefuroxime and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole). All of the agents were tested against 21232 recent clinical isolates encompassing 37 species submitted from 16 European countries between 1997 and 1999. After 20 years of clinical use, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid continues to retain much of its initial activity against targeted gram-positive organisms, selected gram-negative organisms and major respiratory pathogens.Entities:
