title: Antimicrobial activity of dactimicin against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria isolated from intra-abdominal infections.
abstract: The in vitro antimicrobial activity of dactimicin against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria isolated from intra-abdominal infections was compared to those of gentamicin and metronidazole. The data obtained show that dactimicin is a promising new aminoglycoside covering aerobic bacteria and that it may be used together with an antianaerobic agent in the treatment of these infections.
