- Abstract
The new penicillin, pirbenicihin, was found to be 8 to 16 times more active than carbenicillin against many strains of , but was uniformly less active against indole-positive spp. The intrinsic activity of the new anti biotic against ampicihin-sensitive was intermediate between those of ampicillin and carbenidihin. No unusual activity of pirbenicillin was detected amongst a group of enterobacteria previously shown to exhibit distinct patterns of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics.
