Ineffectiveness of Aureomycin and Terramycin Against Rabies Street Virus in Mice.

Discussion and Summary 1. Neither aureomycin nor terramycin administered as described had an effect on the course of rabies in white mice when street virus was inoculated into the masseter muscle. 2. The pH of the terramycin preparation tried was sufficiently low to exert a lethal action on the street virus. A control suspension buffered at the same pH as the terramycin solution exerted the same lethal effect on the street virus.
