Background
Microbiology
- Anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus within the genus Bacteroides
Management
- Most reliably susceptible to metronidazole, followed by imipenem, then amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and piperacillin-tazobactam1
- Universally resistant to ampicillin, and not reliably susceptible to cephalosporins or clindamycin
