Anaerobic isolates from patients with intra-abdominal infection were tested in vitro by eight methods for susceptibility to cefoxitin. Broth disk elution correlated poorly with clinical outcome. The clinical breakpoint for anaerobic susceptibility to cefoxitin was less than or equal to 32 micrograms/ml.
