title: In vitro activities of DX-619 and four comparator agents against 376 anaerobic bacterial isolates.
abstract: The activity of DX-619 was evaluated against 376 anaerobic isolates using the reference CLSI agar dilution method. Overall, 90% of the strains were susceptible to DX-619 at < or =1 microg/ml. It was more active than the other four compounds tested except for meropenem, which showed virtually identical overall activity.
