Résumé : | The killing rate of a zonal concentration gradient of penicillin G on S. aureus was studied by using a previously described triple layer technique, enzymatic inactivation of the antibiotic, and an automatic image analyzer. This gradient determines a target image, whose center is the reservoir of antibiotic (constituted by a paper disk containing 100 U of penicillin G) and whose successive concentric zones are: a zone of slow bactericidal activity (corresponding to high levels of penicillin G), a zone of maximal bactericidal activity (corresponding to optimal levels of penicillin G), and a zone of overgrowth situated in front of the antibiotic wave. |
