On the basis of their sensitivity to phosphomycin, various species of anaerobic Gram negative bacilli examined fell into one of two groups. All strains of Bacteroides were resistant to 500 umg/ml whereas strains of Fusobacterium were uniformly sensitive to 62.5 μg/ml. Disc sensitivity testing to phosphomycin at concentrations of 200–500 μg/ml provides a reliable and rapid means of distinguishing fusobacteria from bacteroides.
