Incidence of cefotetan sensitivity in anaerobic microbes responsible for acute and chronic relapsing bronchopneumonia

: Bronchial fluid samples obtained from 50 patients with respiratory tract infections were analyzed for anaerobic flora isolation, identification of micro-organisms and evaluation of their sensitivity to cefotetan. Anaerobic strains were identified in 18 patients (36%), generally with exacerbations of chronic diseases: cefotetan was active on 100% of isolates.
