RESUMO

On a solid medium, 0.1 to 1 μg/ml of lincomycin hydrochloride had a bacteriostatic effect upon 95 of 100 strains of staphylococci. Using cellophane transfers, we observed a bactericidal effect upon 54 of these strains after 3 to 14 hr of contact with 1 μg/ml. Five staphylococcal strains resistant to 100 μg/ml of lincomycin were also resistant to penicillin G, streptomycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol (three strains), and rovamycin (three strains). Other staphylococcal strains resistant to methicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin were sensitive to lincomycin.
