Abstract
The in vitro antibacterial activity of cefaclor, cephalothin, and cephalexin against 261 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacteriaceae was compared. Cefaclor and cephalexin were about equally active against S. aureus . Cefaclor was the most active cephalosporin against Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis , and Klebsiella pneumoniae . The effect on the antimicrobial activity using a relatively high and low inoculum was pronounced for cefaclor when compared with that of cephalothin.Keywords
