Susceptibility of Campylobacter pylori to the newer cephalosporin antibiotics.
The susceptibility of 23 strains (pediatric and adult) of Campylobacter pylori to eight cephalosporin antibiotics was determined. All strains were sensitive to cefoxitin, cefuroxime, ceftizoxime, latamoxef, and ceftriaxone. Ceftazidime and cefoperazone showed only moderate activity against C. pylori. C. pylori was resistant to cefsulodin.
