[In vitro antibiotic sensitivity of 43 B and/or C bile strains of E. coli].
43 strains of E. coli observed in B and/or C bile from patients in the University of Catania Medical Clinic between 1965 and 1970 were subjected to 16 antibiotics in vitro. Sensitivity to streptomycin fell from 55.86% in 1965 to 16% in 1970, whereas a fluctuation from 35 to 55% was observed for kanamycin over the same period; there was a general fall in effectiveness in the case of the other 14 antibiotics. The clinical advantages nd technical simplicity of the antibiogram are noted.
