Abstract

Abstract 1.1. Cultures of staphylococcus moderately resistant to penicillin and to bacteriophages may be more effectively inhibited in their growth by a combination of these agents. Similar observations have been made on cultures of colon bacilli and some types of streptococci. 2.2. Severe types of infection with staphylococcus, such as chronic osteomyelitis, facial carbuncle, and staphylococcal endocarditis have responded to combined therapeutic use of penicillin and bacteriophages. 3.3. Intestinal perforation associated with general peritonitis and bacteremia has been successfully treated with coli bacteriophage and penicillin. 4.4. Bacterial endocarditis due to streptococci relatively resistant to penicillin has responded favorably to treatment with penicillin and suitable streptococcus bacteriophage.
