Abstract
The authors have studied the sensitivity to the nitrofurantoïne of 3 328 strains of staphylococci and of 232 strains of micrococci. They have noticed that 100% staphylococci strains are sensitive and that 100% micrococci strains are resistant. They propose this sensitivity test as a simple means of differentiation between micrococci and staphylococci.
