Abstract
Forty isolates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus were tested for in vitro susceptibility to cephalothin, cefamandole, cefotaxime and moxalactam, using the disk diffusion and microbroth dilution methods at incubation temperatures of 30 and 35.degree. C. Resistance to all 4 antibiotics was more clearly evident at an incubation temperature of 30.degree. C.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
