MBCs for aerobic and anaerobic cultures

Antibiotic MBC (μg/ml) for:
Aerobic cultures Anaerobic cultures
Metronidazole >256 ≤128
Tinidazole >256 ≤64
Ceftazidime ≤32 >256
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole ≤128 >256
Chloramphenicol ≤256 (MBC99)a >256 (MBC99)a
a

An MBC with 99.9% killing could not be achieved for chloramphenicol under the conditions assayed; therefore, an MBC99 is reported.
