In vitro susceptibilities of anaerobic bacteria to josamycin. 1976

S S Long, and S Mueller, and R M Swenson

A total of 132 strains of anaerobic bacteria were tested for susceptibility to josamycin, using a broth dilution technique. All strains of Peptococcus species, Peptostreptococcus species, and Bacteroides fragilis were inhibited by 2 mug or less per ml. Seventy percent of these susceptible strains were also killed by 2 mug or less of josamycin per ml. However, 2 of 12 Clostridium species and 6 of 10 Fusobacterium species had minimum inhibitory concentrations of 32 mug or more per ml.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007933	Leucomycins	An antibiotic complex produced by Streptomyces kitasatoensis. The complex consists of a mixture of at least eight biologically active components, A1 and A3 to A9. Leucomycins have both antibacterial and antimycoplasmal activities.
D008826	Microbial Sensitivity Tests	Any tests that demonstrate the relative efficacy of different chemotherapeutic agents against specific microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, fungi, viruses).

D001419	Bacteria	One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive.	Eubacteria
