penicillinase stable penicillins.
(A) BACTERIOLOGY
FLOXAPEN exhibits bactericidal activity against all Gram-positive organisms (with the exception  of Strep. faecalis) e.g.
Haemolytic streptococci, staphylococci, streptococcus pneumoniae and N. gonorrhoeae.
FLOXAPEN’S anti-staphylococcal activity is not affected by penicillinase and as  FLOXAPEN is active against virtually all

of staphylococcal infections.
The MIC’s of benzylpenicillin against staphylococci are lower than those of flucloxacillin except in the case of the
