title: [Bactericidal activity of octophene].
abstract: In this study the bactericidal activity of Clofoctol has been evaluated by "in vitro" technique against gram-positive against gram-positive microorganisms clinically isolated. The results show that MIC of Clofoctol is very close to its bactericidal activity, which could therefore be retained as its main activity. The MBC recovered was 1-8 mcg/ml against strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 2-8 mcg/ml against Streptococcus pyogenes, while the bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus, evaluated at M.B.C., was recovered after 30'.
