title: [Piperacillin: comparison of antibacterial activity in vitro during the triennium 1986-88 versus the biennium 1981-82].
abstract: The antibacterial activity in vitro of piperacillin on strains commonly isolated in hospital practice in 1986-88 was compared with that obtained for piperacillin from 1981 to 1982 and with the activity of other antibiotics usually employed. Piperacillin showed a good antibacterial activity on Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains, while few resistant strains were found.
