In vitro activity of moxalactam against anaerobic bacteria.

Moxalactam was tested against 80 isolates of anaerobic bacteria from clinical specimens. The results of this study and a review of other studies, in which comparable susceptibility testing methods were used, demonstrated the susceptibility to moxalactam of members of the Bacteroides fragilis group, Bacteroides melaninogenicus, Fusobacterium species, anaerobic gram-positive cocci, and Clostridium perfringens.
