J Chemother. 1990 Jun;2(3):156-8. doi: 10.1080/1120009x.1990.11739009.

Abstract

Twelve Eikenella corrodens strains were isolated from dental infections and tested for their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents by an agar dilution method. All strains were susceptible to penicillin, ampicillin and tetracycline, and resistant to cephalexin and metronidazole and moderately resistant to erythromycin, gentamicin and cefaclor.
