Effect of clavulanic Acid on anaerobic bacteria resistant to Beta-lactam antibiotics.
The minimum inhibitory concentrations of penicillin and cephalothin necessary to inhibit growth of most anaerobic bacteria were reduced to a susceptible level by 1 to 5 mug of clavulanic acid per ml. In most cases, minimum inhibitory concentrations of cefoxitin were not affected.
