Abstract
A synergistic in vitro bactericidal effect of combinations of chloramphenicol and beta-lactams on strains of Enterobacteriaceae is described. The synergism is seen with strains which are resistant to the beta-lactam and is due to chloramphenicol-induced inhibition of beta-lactamase production.
