Newer penicillins and cephalosporins are being evaluated in many infections. One of these infections, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, can be caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. This study demonstrated that cefoxitin, cefamandole, cefuroxime, and piperacillin had no effective in vitro activity against C. trachomatis.
