Popis: SINCE 1963 AMPICILLIN has been used extensively for treatment of meningitis and other infections due to Hemophilus influenzae, type b. Prior reports from this institution 1 have documented marked susceptibility of these organisms to ampicillin. Recently strains of H. influenzae, type b, resistant to ampicillin have been recognized.2. 3 Thes e reports prompted a review of the in vitro susceptibility to ampicillin and chloramphenicol of recently isolated strains compared to those isolated in earlier years. Susceptibility studies performed against groups of organisms isolated during 1971-1972 and 1974 were compared with results of similar studies 1 of strains to H. influenzae, type b, isolated ten years earlier during 1962-1964.
