COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF ANTIBIOTICS AND GAMMA-GLOBULINE IN EXPERIMENTAL MELIOIDOSIS INFECTION
Abstract
Of the 5 examined antibiotics, the most pronounced therapeutical properties were found in levomycetin and biomycin which prevented death in 63.3 to 66.6% of animals infected with 200 mln. of microbes of virulent culture melioidosis causative agent. Treatment of experimental animals with gamma- globulin increased their survival twice as compared to the controls. These experiments are preliminary; nevertheless, their results show the expediency in the use of domestic antibiotics (native to their country) in emergency cases biomycin and levomycetin in combination with the gamma-globulin.
