Susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae type b to rifampin and sulfisoxazole
Abstract
A total of 100 and 97% of Haemophilus influenzae type b strains from major infections were susceptible, respectively, to levels of rifampin and sulfisoxazole attainable in saliva. It is theoretically feasible to eliminate Haemophilus influenzae from the nasopharynx with these drugs.
