| Abstract | We conducted a multi-institutional surveillance program to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of anaerobic gram-negative rods clinically isolated in the Hokuriku District of Japan. Among 118 isolates of anaerobes, carbapenems and tazobactam/piperacillin retained excellent activities, but high rates of resistance to cefmetazole and clindamycin were observed in Bacteroides, especially non-fragilis Bacteroides. The resistant rates of Bacteroides were very different every hospital, which may show the importance of the susceptibility testing of anaerobes. Continuous regional surveillance might be necessary to monitor the trend of the antimicrobial resistance of anaerobic gram-negative bacteria. |
