Abstract
Several drugs were evaluated for their optimal effective concentrations against specific odontopathic organisms. The minimal inhibitory concentrations for niddamycin, vancomycin, and bacitracin ranged from 0.2 to 10 units/ml. Kanamycin was inhibitory at much higher concentrations (130 to 500 units/ml).This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
