Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus of the Female Genitalia

Abstract

A new penicillin, 5-methyl-3-phenyl-4-isoxazolyl penicil- lin, was a more active bacteriostatic and bacterial agent against penicillinase-producing staphylococci than penicillin G, phenethicillin or methicillin.It was less active than penicillin G but more active than methicillin against staphylococci which did not produce penicillinase.Oral treatment was effective in persons who were nasal carriers and in staphylococcic infections caused by penicillinase-production staphylococci.
