Results of a series of "in vitro" antibiotic susceptibility tests on some strains of oral Treponema are presented. Different antimicrobial agents have shown different results and only tetracycline and erythromycin have shown consistent antibacterial properties. Surprisingly penicillin has allowed a latent "in vitro" growth of the tested Treponema. The Authors conclude that, according to the data presented, a revision of the current criteria of the antimicrobial therapy for the oral infections associated with the presence of species of Treponema is needed.
本文展示了对一些口腔密螺旋体菌株进行的一系列“体外”抗生素敏感性测试的结果。不同的抗菌剂显示出不同的结果，只有四环素和红霉素显示出一致的抗菌特性。令人惊讶的是，青霉素在“体外”条件下使受试密螺旋体出现了潜伏性生长。作者得出结论，根据所呈现的数据，需要对目前针对与密螺旋体物种存在相关的口腔感染的抗菌治疗标准进行修订。
