    • Abstract:
      A total of 866 anaerobic strains isolated from clinical samples were tested by E-TEST for antimicrobial susceptibility. The most frequent antimicrobial resistance among the isolated genera, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, was observed for clindamycin, and therefore, it cannot be considered as an empirical treatment. The antimicrobial resistance to benzylpenicillin was predominant among the Gram-negative bacteria, in particular the Bacteroides spp. The resistance percentages to meropenem and metronidazole are still low. However, metronidazole showed a considerable resistance in Finegoldia magna isolates, alone or in combination with other antibiotics. These data provide novel and useful epidemiological information on infections promoted by anaerobic bacteria.
