Ellie J C Goldstein 1,†, Y Y Kwok 1, Vera L Sutter 1
PMCID: PMC181648  PMID: 7283412

Abstract

None of the 46 strains of anaerobic bacteria tested, including 26 strains of Bacteroides fragilis, showed tolerance (minimal bactericidal concentration/minimum inhibitory concentration ratio >32) to cefoxitin.
