Abstract
The in vitro activities of imipenem alone and in combination with teicoplanin, fosfomycin, and rifampin were tested against clinical isolates of enterococci and staphylococci. In both groups of organisms, the three combinations demonstrated high rates of synergism in both checkerboard and time-kill studies.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
