Abstract
The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 311 strains of anaerobic bacteria and 140 strains of aerobic bacteria, isolated from blood after dental extraction, were determined by the E test and compared with the results obtained by the agar dilution method on PDM-ASM 2 agar. E test MICs agreed within ±1 dilution step to the agar dilution MICs in 93%, 52%, 90%, 94% of the tested anaerobes for penicillin V, cefaclor, clindamycin and erythromycin, respectively. For aerobic bacteria the agreement was ≥ 90% for the antibiotics tested.Thein vitroactivities of penicillin V, clindamycin and erythromycin were higher than the activity of cefaclor against the majority of bacteria tested.
