Abstract
Cefpirome and six other antimicrobial agents were tested against 884 blood culture isolates from cancer patients. Cefpirome was highly active against aerobic gram-negative bacilli including Acinetobacter spp., and the Enterobacteriaceae. Only imipenem was more active than cefpirome against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cefpirome was also extremely active against beta-hemolytic streptococci and methicillin-susceptible staphylococci.Entities:
