'Uncharted waters'--consolidation of two academic psychiatric services: a case study.

Surviving during times of mergers and acquisitions is difficult but possible. Following is a case study of how one service managed not only to survive, but to thrive, during consolidation.

In vitro susceptibility of Capnocytophaga strains to 18 antimicrobial agents.

Twenty-seven strains of capnocytophaga were tested for their susceptibility to 18 antimicrobial agents by an agar dilution technique. All strains were susceptible to achievable blood levels of penicillin G, cefaclor, cefoxitin, cefoperazone, moxalactam, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline. Most were susceptible to achievable levels of cefamandole, erythromycin, and metronidazole, and more than 10% were resistant to achievable levels of cephalexin and cephradine.
