Abstract
The minimal inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations for 108 group B streptococcal strains were determined for two new cephalosporins, cefonicid and ceftizoxime, and compared to those of penicillin G. Penicillin G was the most active inhibitory and bactericidal agent. Ceftizoxime was a significantly more active inhibitory and bactericidal agent than cefonicid (P<0.0005, P<0.025, respectively).
