In vitro susceptibility of Salmonella strains to cefotetan and other cephalosporins.
The in vitro activity of cefotetan, a recently developed cephamycin, is investigated by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and by the agar diffusion method against 212 strains of Salmonella (36 species). Cefotetan shows good activity against all strains of Salmonella tested and it is more active than other cephalosporins, in particular, on S. wien.
