Nocardicin A, a new monocyclic .BETA.-lactam antibiotic. IV. Factors influencing the in vitro activity of nocardicin A.

Abstract
Factors influencing the in vitro antimicrobial activity of nocardicin A against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis were investigated. Sodium chloride was identified as a major inhibitor. Some of the amino acids, sugars and divalent cations were found to be minor inhibitors. The presence of potassium phosphates enhanced nocardicin A activity against P. aeruginosa, but antagonized the activity against P. mirabilis.
