The in vitro activity of apalcillin was tested against 107 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the results were compared to those for piperacillin, mezlocillin, azlocillin, and carbenicillin. MIC analysis showed that 97% of the isolates were susceptible to piperacillin, 97% were susceptible to apalcillin, 93% were susceptible to azlocillin, 87% were susceptible to mezlocillin, and 84% were susceptible to carbenicillin.
