    Author: Angulo AF, Spaans J, Zemmouchi L, van der Waaij D.
    Journal: Lab Anim; 1978 Jul; 12(3):157-8. PubMed ID: 82636.
    Abstract:
    Conventional Syrian hamsters colonized with aerobic gram-negative bacteria such as Pasteurella pneumotropica and various Enterobacteriaceae species were successfully and permanently freed from these microorganisms by oral treatment for 4 weeks with dihydrostreptomycin and 'Orabase' premixed with appropriate antibiotics. Concomitant oral treatment with dimetridazol for the elimination of intestinal flagellates was unsuccessful. During treatment the animals were maintained under germ-free isolation conditions.
