Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to present data on the antibacterial activity of a new penicillinase-resistant penicillin and its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. The drug is sodium diphenicillin (sodium 2-biphenylylpenicillin)¹ and is manufactured from penicillanic acid.

Material and Methods

Sodium diphenicillin was supplied to us by Smith Kline & French Laboratories as a white powder and labeled SK&F 12141. It is also known as Ancillin. It is highly soluble in water and is stable in high concentration in aqueous solution for at least ten days at 4 C. Its structural formula has been reported.¹

Bacteria Tested.—

The group included 114 strains of mannitol-positive Staphylococcus aureus recovered from various clinical lesions in patients in the Cincinnati General and the Longview State Hospitals. Two strains (Nos. 48 and 49) were methicillin-resistant staphylococci kindly sent us by Dr. Patricia Jevons of the Staphylococcus Reference Laboratory, London, England. Strains . . .
