Abstract
By in vitro tests on 12 strains of P. aeruginosa, sputum from patients with cystic fibrosis sharply increased the minimal bactericidal conconcentrations of polymyxin B and neomycin. Sputum had a lesser effect on tests with gentamicin and tobramycin and essentially none on tests with carbenicillin.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
