[Comparison of the antibacterial activity in vitro of a combination of penicillin and other antibiotics on 127 strains isolated in an Oncological Institute].

127 pathogenic, opportunist and saprophytic strains isolated from patients and material in a Milanese oncological department were tested. An association of Ampicillin and Dicloxacillin ana (Diamplicil) proved effective against all strains, particularly Gram-negative bacteria notoriously responsible for hospital infections. A statistically inferior performance was observed for Rifampicin and Cephaloridine.
