Abstract
Oral administration of penicillin, terramycin, or chloramphenicol to NCS mice rapidly brought about profound changes in their fecal flora. The lactobacilli disappeared completely, whereas the numbers of enterococci and Gram-negative bacilli reached very high levels. In contrast, no effect on the fecal flora could be detected following administration of isoniazid in any amount.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
