  • Title: Penicillin-tobramycin synergism against enterococci: a comparison with penicillin and gentamicin.
    Author: Moellering RC, Wennersten C, Weinstein AJ.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1973 Apr; 3(4):526-9. PubMed ID: 4208292.
    Abstract:
    Combinations of penicillin plus tobramycin have been compared with penicillin plus gentamicin against 27 strains of enterococci isolated from blood cultures. Penicillin plus gentamicin was synergistic against all strains. The combination of penicillin plus tobramycin was equally effective against strains of Streptococcus facalis, but was ineffective against all four strains of S. faecium tested.
