Abstract
The in-vitro susceptibilities of 964 clinical isolates of aerobic bact eria to biapenem (a novel carbapenem), imipenem, ceftazidime and cipro floxacin were determined by an agar dilution method. Compared with imi penem, biapenem exhibited greater activity against aerobic Gram-negati ve bacilli, similar activity against Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Haemophilus influenzae and less activity against Gram -positive cocci.
