Bacteriophage Types in Penicillin-resistant Staphylococcal Infection

sulphamezathine and sulphamerazine, the advantage seems to lie with sulphamerazine, though it has still to be proved that the frequency of relapses with this drug will be less than with sulphamezathine. Contrary to expectation, the combined use of penicillin locally and sulphonamide orally does not seem to reduce the relapse rate, but it should always be borne in mind that relapses are sometimes, possibly often, reinfections rather *than relapses in the true sense.
