Effect of Elevated Atmospheric Pressure on Antibiotic Susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes

PMCID: PMC444252 PMID: 4618457

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus showed decreased susceptibility to penicillin, vancomycin, sodium cephalothin, and tetracycline, but increased susceptibility to sodium colistimethate, at a pressure of 68 atm in helium or helium-oxygen gas. Susceptibility of Streptococcus pyogenes was unchanged by pressurization.
