title: Antimicrobial action of thymol-camphor compared with 20 pharmaceutical preparations. 1. Staphylococcus aureus.
abstract: The antimicrobial action of 21 pharmaceutical preparations has been compared in vitro by testing them against Staph. aureus (Oxford strain) in an identical environment. While a number of chemicals produced a degree of action, which can be considered adequate for clinical purposes, the combination thymol-camphor gave the best results.
