Abstract
Changes in Microflora during Antibiotic AdministrationThe material presented thus far has dealt with clearly identifiable organisms, which, for the most part, are primary pathogens and the chief targets against which the antibiotics were directed — mostly during therapy, but also in the prophylaxis of infections. Although the literature concerning these organisms was by no means exhaustively covered, and that concerning other pathogens was not considered, it seems clear that such organisms rarely become resistant within the primary host as a result of adequate antimicrobial treatment of specific infections. Exceptions are Myco. tuberculosis to various agents under certain conditions and, . . .
