Abstract

The in vitro activities of nine antimicrobial agents against Corynebacterium group D2 strains isolated from clinical specimens and from healthy skin of hospitalized patients were studied. Ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, vancomycin, and teicoplanin were very active against these microorganisms. There were no significant differences in susceptibility between clinical and colonizing isolates.
