title: In vitro activities of fourteen antimicrobial agents against obligately anaerobic bacteria.
abstract: The in vitro activities of fourteen antimicrobial agents were tested against 292 clinical isolates of obligately anaerobic bacteria using the broth microdilution technique. Taking all strains as a group the MIC(50/90) (mg/l) values were metronidazole and imipenem 0.25/1, meropenem 0.25/0.5, trovafloxacin 0.25/1, gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin 0.5/2, levofloxacin 2/16, ciprofloxacin 4/32, clindamycin 0.5/8, amoxycillin/clavulanate 1/4, doxycycline and chloramphenicol 2/4, erythromycin 4/>32 and penicillin G 16/>32.
