TitleLetter from Howard Walter Florey to L P Garrod, Pathology Department, St Bartholomew's Hospital, London
Date31 January 1956
DescriptionPleased they can agree over results on cephalosporin P - comments on this - knew Staph.aureus rapidly became resistant to cephalosporin P - effect of inoculum size not as marked when C diphtheriae used - resistance did not occur so readily in vivo - asks if Garrod is to do experiments on mice - might be worthwhile seeing if in human cases the staphylococci become resistant to the drugs.
