Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Otago, P O Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis 27:1261-3. 2008..The relatively low proportion (33%) of subjects that colonised was attributed to failure of the amoxicillin pre-treatment to sufficiently reduce the indigenous S. salivarius populations prior to dosing with strain K12 powder...
