Pipemidic acid is active against gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as some gram-positive bacteria. The activity of pipemidic acid is scarcely affected by the addition of serum, sodium cholate, or change of medium pH, but is subject to the influence of inoculum size. Its action is bactericidal above minimal inhibitory concentrations.
