Antimicrobial susceptibility of Arcanobacterium haemolyticum

Abstract

The susceptibilities of 138 clinical isolates of Arcanobacterium haemolyticum to 11 antimicrobial agents were tested. All strains were susceptible to phenoxymethylpenicillin, cephalosporins, erythromycin, azithromycin, clindamycin, vancomycin, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin but were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
