I was intrigued by your Coefficient of Resistance (CR) which eliminates a lot of variability in sensitivity testing. But the way you present it, you seem to introduce another kind of variability in comparing different drugs. For instance, how is the sensitive strain defined? Is it so defined that, for different kinds of antibiotics, is has the same meaning? Is that a very sensitive organism, or is it a marginally sensitive organism? I would guess it is very sensitive, because, up to a CR of 10, you can treat patients satisfactorily with antibiotics: that would imply that you would really need 10 times more of the antibiotic in the patient with the marginally sensitive micro-organism, with a coefficient of resistance of 10, than in the very sensitive organism. So, if at first sight it lookes very attractive, I begin to wonder what the implications are. Especially in comparing different antibiotics and concluding that the degree of resistance is higher for one antibiotic than in the other. Dr. Gould: Perhaps I did not make it entirely clear. I would normally expect, the control organism to be of the same species. One would take what one regarded as the standard sensitive strain, an o
