[In vitro susceptibility to cefoperazone and sulbactam/cefoperazone combination of bacterial strains isolated from various patient materials].

Susceptibility of 110 bacterial strains isolated from clinical materials to Cefoperazone (CPZ) and Sulbactam/Cefoperazone (SBT/CPZ) combination was investigated and every strain was examined for beta-lactamase activity. Total beta-lactamase positivity rate was 40.9%. Antibacterial activity of SBT/CPZ combination was found to be higher than CPZ alone, especially on beta-lactamase producing bacteria.
