Abstract

Plaque formation by various rickettsiae was completely inhibited by commercial antibiotic discs impregnated with tetracycline, chloramphenicol, nitrofurantoin, and erythromycin; partial inhibition was observed around discs containing nalidixic acid and sulfisoxazole, but no inhibition was seen around discs containing cephalothin, ampicillin, oxacillin, kanamycin, polymyxin B, streptomycin, or penicillin.
