Comparison of cefoxitin and cephalothin therapy of a mixed Bacteroides fragilis and Fusobacterius necrophorum infection in mice.
Cefoxitin, a beta-lactamase-resistant cephalosporin, was found to be more effective than cephalothin against an experimental mixed infection containing Bacteroides fragilis and Fusobacterium necrophorum.
