Abstract
The in vitro activities of doripenem against 364 anaerobic isolates were measured and compared to those of ertapenem, imipenem, meropenem, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin. All of the carbapenems were active against nearly all Bacteroides fragilis group isolates. Doripenem was either comparable to or slightly less active than imipenem and meropenem against most isolates but more active than the other penems against Clostridium difficile. Doripenem appears to have excellent activity against a broad range of anaerobes.Entities:
