- Title
Chloramphenicol and the Survival of Airborne Bacteria.
- Authors
WEBB, S. J.
- Abstract
IN recent years the large increase of staphylococcal infections in hospitals has resulted in much research into the sanitation and disinfection of hospital wards; but little work appears to have been conducted on the airborne survival of the causative agents. In the course of studies on the viability of airborne bacteria, certain observations were made which may, in part, explain the spread of these cells, especially the antibiotic-resistant strains.
