Penicillin Treatment of Glycerine Vaccine Lymph

Effect of Penicillin on Vaccine Virus and Its Value in Purification of Vaccine Lymph

Numerous methods have been tried for reducing the bacterial count of calf lymph without diminishing its potency. Gins (1924) and Lehmann (1937) have used carbolic acid as an agent for the destruction of bacteria in lymph. Stevenson and Butler (1936) drew attention to the value of phenol as an agent for preventing accidental contamination of lymph. They found that lymph made up into 50 per cent ...

Implications of Streptococcus pneumoniae penicillin resistance and serotype distribution in Kuwait for disease treatment and prevention.

Streptococcus pneumoniae causes serious infections. Treatment is difficult because of the emergence of penicillin resistance in S. pneumoniae. Pneumococcal vaccines offer the promise of control and prevention of pneumococcal infections. Serotype prevalence and penicillin susceptibility data for a country will predict the usefulness of the vaccines in that country. In Kuwait, the 23-valent polys...
