Abstract
Tests with 52 strains of Staphylococcus aureus compared ceforanide and cefonicid. Addition of 50% human serum to the test system reduced the bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities of cefonicid, but ceforanide was not affected as greatly.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
