A Comparison of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Sisomicin and of Fourteen Other Antibiotics

The activities of sisomicin and of fourteen other antibiotics have been compared for their inhibitory activity on all the different strains of bacteria isolated from a 3,000 bed hospital. The antibiotic sensitivity tests were performed in liquid medium and expressed as minimum inhibitory concentrations. The tests were performed over a period of four months. The results are discussed.
