Etude de la sensibilité aux antibiotiques de 139 souches de Listeria sérotypées par le centre national de référence en 1983

Summary The susceptibility of 139 strains of Listeria towards eight antibiotics —penicillin, ampicillin, cephalotin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, erythromycin and pefloxacin—was studied. All strains were susceptible to all antibiotics except pefloxacin. The lowest MIC (≤0.5 mg/l) were obtained with penicillin, ampicillin, gentamicin and erythromycin. For tetracycline, cephalotin and chloramphenicol, MIC ranged from 0.5 to 16 mg/l. The MIC of pefloraxin varied from 4 to 16 mg/l.
