title: [In vitro activity of cefoxitin compared with the activity of other antibiotics and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (author's transl)].
abstract: The new developed antibiotic cefoxitin has been tested in vitro on its effectiveness against bacteria isolated from human material. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and streptococci of the serological group D were not tested, because these microorganisms are not sensitive against this antibiotic. Besides cefoxitin other antibiotics (cephalothin, cephalexin, ampicillin, carbenicillin, tetracycline, gentamicin, penicillin G, oxacillin) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were also tested. As to the results cefoxitin shows the best effectiveness against all gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative bacteria including indol-positive species of proteus, providencia, serratia marcescens and the anaerobe, gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods. There are different results with enterobacter-, citrobacter-, achromobacter- and acinetobacter-species.
