Abstract
We evaluated the in vitro activities of 21 different antimicrobial age nts against nine clinical isolates of Flavimonas oryzihabitans obtaine d from patients with cancer. The organisms were susceptible to most ag ents commonly used for the empiric therapy (aminoglycosides, ureidopen icillins, extended-spectrum cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapene ms) and prevention of infections (quinolones and trimethoprim-sulfamet hoxazole) in this patient population.
