Susceptibilities of Bacteroides and Fusobacterium spp. from foot rot in goats to 10 beta-lactam antibiotics.
The agar dilution method was used to determine the bacteriostatic activities of 10 beta-lactam antibiotics against 132 strains belonging to the genus Bacteroides and 25 strains belonging to the genus Fusobacterium, all isolated from clinical cases of caprine foot rot. The three ureidopenicillins studied proved to be the most effective antimicrobial agents.
