Susceptibility to aminoglycosides of 63 strains of Stomatococcus mucilaginosus isolated from sputum.
The MIC of 63 Stomatococcus mucilaginosus for 7 aminoglycosides was determined. Most of the strains were resistant to these antibiotics except to streptomycin. A natural resistance due to impermeability may be involved. One single strain was resistant to all these aminoglycosides where the concentration level of streptomycin was greater than 1000 mg/l. A chromosomal mutation is probably involved.
