Synergistic effects of ampicillin-aminoglycoside combinations on group B streptococci.
The in vitro activity of gentamicin, tobramycin, kanamycin, and amikacin in combination with ampicillin was determined against aminoglycoside-resistant group B streptococci. Synergy in each combination was determined by quantitative kill curves and demonstrated in all the combinations tested.
