In vitro susceptibility of anaerobes: comparison of clindamycin and other antimicrobial agents.
The in vitro activity of clindamycin against anaerobic bacteria was compared with that of other antimicrobial agents. Clindamycin remained effective against most anaerobic bacteria found in infections, although resistance to the drug was found in certain groups, such as Peptococcus and Clostridium species.
