The activity of this antibiotic seems to extend over a wider range of infectious agents than that of any of its predecessors. It is effective when given by mouth and has thus far been found to be essentially free of serious untoward effects. The exact field of usefulness of aureomycin, however, still remains to be defined and it will be necessary to accumulate a considerably greater body of well controlled clinical data than are as...Bibliography1.
