Abstract excerpt
To determine if susceptibility to aztreonam could be predicted from cefotaxime or ceftazidime disc diffusion testing, 919 Enterobacteriaceae and 187 Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical strains were studied. The correlation coefficient between the diameters of inhibition zones was 0.9 for cefotaxime versus aztreonam and ceftazidime versus aztreonam comparisons in Enterobacteriaceae and 0.75 for ceftazidime versus...
