Abstract

The activities of cefixime, cefpodoxime, cefprozil, cefuroxime, loracarbef, and amoxicillin/clavulanate against 72 clinical isolates of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae were determined by using an agar dilution method. The effects of β-lactamase production and bacterial inoculum size were investigated. All antimicrobials exhibited a significant inoculum effect, demonstrating the importance of accurately determining inoculum size in the performance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing of H. influenzae.
