title: Comparative in vitro activities of ampicillin, BMY 28142, and imipenem against Mycobacterium avium complex.
abstract: The in vitro activity of ampicillin, BMY 28142, and imipenem was evaluated against 21 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium avium complex by both a broth and an agar dilution method. The MIC90 by broth dilution for ampicillin, BMY 28142, and imipenem was 16 micrograms/ml, 8 micrograms/ml, and greater than 32 micrograms/ml, respectively. The MIC90 by agar dilution for ampicillin and BMY 28142 was 16 micrograms/ml.
