Herrell and Brown2in 1941 compared the results of treatment of bacteremia at the Mayo Clinic before and after the advent of the sulfonamide compounds. The treatment and results in cases of subacute bacterial endocarditis due to penicillin-sensitive streptococci and to enterococci have been described by Geraci and one of us (Martin).3, 4Experiences in the treatment of 137 patients with bacteremia due to gram-negative bacilli at the clinic in a 15-year period...Bibliography1.
