In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility trends in commonly isolated anaerobic bacteria within the Australian context

Given relatively high rates of resistance to common agents within Prevotella spp. and with clindamycin to several species tested, anaerobic susceptibility testing should be considered by laboratories in select circumstances, particularly in infections where Prevotella spp. have a significant role or where clindamycin is being considered as the main agent for significant infections.
