If the presumptive diagnosis of acute bacterial endocarditis in one of the patients is correct, it is only the third of the reported cases due to this organism to have survived.1,6-8 Similarly, the case of necrotizing papillitis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be the first to have survived this disease.4
Therapy in each case was based on 2 findings previously reported from this laboratory and by others. The first was potentiation between polymyxin B and oxytetracycline against Ps. aeruginosa, and the second was the potentiation of antibiotics by the addition of relatively large
