Abstract

Summary

A series of 5358 consecutive swabs from burns were inoculated in duplicate on 0·03 per cent. cetrimide agar and on an agar medium containing 0·02 per cent. cetrimide with 15 g per ml nalidixic acid. A larger number of swabs yielded and a smaller number yielded growth of other bacteria on cetrimide-nalidixic acid than on cetrimide agar.
