Abstract
The activity of cefoperazone/sulbactam was compared with eleven other antimicrobial agents against 91 strains of the Bacteroides fragilis gr oup known to be resistant to clindamycin and/or beta-lactam agents. Su lbactam alone possessed moderate activity against most strains and imp roved the activity of cefoperazone and ampicillin. Bacteroides distaso nis strains were more resistant than other species. There was no corre lation between resistance of an isolate to either clindamycin or cefox itin with resistance to cefoperazone/sulbactam.
