Abstract
We examined the effects of pH and incubation in a CO 2 -containing atmosphere on the activity of erythromycin against 81 strains of the Bacteroides fragilis group. A striking reduction in erythromycin activity was noted when the pH decreased below 7.0 and when the organisms were incubated with CO 2 .This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
