PHARMACOLOGICAL DATA
A. In Vitro Activity
The method used was a dilution of a liquid medium where a series of tubes received the same quantity of a sterile nutritive media and increasing doses of the test compounds were placed therein. Then each tube was seeded with a bacterial strain and was incubated for 24 or 48 hours at 37.degree. C. in an oven. The increasing inhibition was determined by transillumination to determine the minimum inhibiting concentration (MIC in .mu.g/ml) and the results are reported in the following Tables.
