Abstract
The determination of the bactericidal activity in serum also gives valuable information on the bacteria, the host and the antibiotics. Clinical studies have proven its value, especially in predicting the outcome of septicemia and other infections. Thus, the bactericidal activity in serum is a useful tool for monitoring therapy. It can also be used as an investigational means for comparing the respective efficacy of antibiotics administered alone or in combination.Entities:
