Thein vitroResistance to Antibiotics ofMycoplasma mycoidesvar.capri

摘要

Summary.Resistance to dihydrostreptomycin, chloramphenicol and oleandomcin has been inducedin vitroin a strain ofMycoplasma mycoidesvar.capri.The chloramphenicol resistant strain showed high resistance to oleandomycin, but the converse was not observed. The same cross resistance was also found, but to only a very small extent, inStaphylococcus aureusandStreptococcus faecalis.No cross resistance was found in three other species of bacteria examined. The osmotic lysis of the normal and the chloramphenicol resistant strains ofM. mycoidesvar.capriwere similar.
