Cefbuperazone was compared with other currently available and investigational antibiotics against 278 clinical isolates of anaerobic gram-negative bacilli by an agar dilution method. Cefbuperazone and cefotetan were equally active against Bacteroides fragilis, with 8% of the organisms tested found to be resistant to 32 micrograms of either drug per ml. Cefoperazone, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and cefmetazole were less active against these strains; cefoxitin, moxalactam, piperacillin, clindamycin, and metronidazole were more active. None of the agents were consistently active against any of the other anaerobic gram-negative bacilli except imipenem, for which the minimum concentration required to inhibit 90% of all strains tested was 4 micrograms/ml. A 10,000-fold increase in inoculum size caused an increase in the MIC of ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, and cefoperazone but not of cefbuperazone, cefotetan, or cefoxitin. Investigation of the mechanism of resistance to cephalosporin-like agents demonstrated a correlation between the level of resistance and beta-lactamase activity. Cefbuperazone, cefotetan, and cefoxitin were not hydrolyzed, had lower MICs, and were less affected by changes in inoculum size than were cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, and cefoperazone.
