A number of publications have appeared de-scribing the successful use of mixtures oftwo or more antibacterial substances. In many instances the combined effect has indicated synergistic activity instead of being merely additive. There are a number of reasons why it may be desirable to use these combinations of antibacterial substances. Resistance to one antibiotic is prob-ably inherited independently to a second one. Thus when one or two cells per million are re-sistant to antibiotic A, the chancesthat they are also resistant to antibiotic B are very low. When antibiotics A and B are used together, eachin a concentration which will inhibit all but the resistant individuals, there will be no survivors, except in tremendous populations. Klein and Kimmel-man found that the development of streptomycin-resistant variants in vitro could be greatly reduced by the addition of small amounts of sulphadiazine. Furthermore, they found that subinhibi-tory concentrations ofpenicillin, streptomycin, and sulphadiazine, when combined, were highly effective in inhibiting bacterial multiplication and completely prevented the development of resistant variants. Their data indicate direct correlation between the inhibition of resistant variants and synergistic action with penicillin, streptomycin and sulphadiazine.
