| Abstract: | The susceptibilities to spectinomycin of 303 recent urinary tract isolates were determined and compared to the susceptibilities of those strains to ampicillin, tetracycline, and gentamicin. Based on minimal inhibitory concentrations, 84% of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter, 31% of other Enterobacteriaceae, 7% of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus (including enterococci), and 0% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were susceptible to concentrations of spectinomycin that are easily surpassed in serum (
