In vitro study of the sensitivity of 1030 hospital-isolated bacterial strains to aztreonam.
The antibacterial activity in vitro of aztreonam is compared with other antibiotics on 1,030 strains isolated from pathological specimens. Its spectrum is very large, with special regard to Gram-negative bacteria. Of particular interest appears the sensitivity to aztreonam of otherwise multiresistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus rettgeri.
