The use of antibiotics in technical microbiology.Peer-reviewed article

J. VINTIKA

In this article different possibilities of use of antibiotics as a means against contamination in industry are described. Different data concerning the tests made with aureomycin, penicillin, streptomycin and chloramphenicol waste liquids are added. Among the causes of relatively limited use of antibiotics in fermentation industries belongs the fact, that many of them were used without preliminary laboratory tests. Further troubles come from considerably high price of antibiotics and the small number of suitable sorts as well as hitherto difficult testing of microorganisms taken from the factories.
