Results of a sensibility test on bacteria in developing countries.
Humans, animals and drinking water were examined for pathogenic germs in Sudan, Colombia and the Cap Verde Island. Samples taken from humans mainly consisted of wound,--throat,-- and vaginal swabs plus stools. From animals we took feces resp. anal swabs. All isolated bacterial strains were examined for their reaction to various chemotherapeutics. Gentamicine showed the most comprehensive effects. Co-trimoxazole was second best.
