IN VITRO AND IN VIVO LABORATORY EVALUATION OF CEPHALOTHIN, A NEW BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC

Abstract
Cephalothin, a new cephalosporin antibiotic, is the sodium salt of 7-(thiophene-2-acetamido) cephalosporanic acid. The activity of this antibiotic against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is described as determined by the tube-dilution and disc-plate methods. Correlations of the results of the therapy of experimental infections in mice with in vitro sensitivity to cephalothin are presented.
