title: [Study of the sensitivity of enteropathogenic bacteria to nifurzide].
abstract: Nifurzide, a synthetic antimicrobial agent of the nitrofuran group, was tested on 320 enteropathogenic bacteria. Minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC) (expressed in mg/l) were determined using the standard agar dilution technique. The MICs were excellent for Campylobacter spp. (97 strains), MIC 50:0.5, MIC 90:0.5; slightly higher for Shigella spp. (50 strains) and Aeromonas spp. (22 strains), MIC 50:2, MIC 90:4; and highest for Salmonella spp. (100 strains) and Yersinia enterocolitica (49 strains), MIC 50:8, MIC 90:8.
