Abstract
The in vitro activity of 18 antimicrobial agents against 40 clinical isolates each of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratum and Acinetobacter lwoffi was studied. Most of the newer 4-quinolone derivatives were extremely active against these organisms. Newer beta-lactam agents, such as cefpirome, BMY 28142, and BRL 36650, were also extremely active, inhibiting all strains at clinically achievable levels. Most agents were two- to fourfold more active against A. lwoffi.
