Abstract:
The authors studied the effectiveness of a compound drug, sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim, in acute pulmonary disease of moderate gravity. :They reviewed the numerous criteria used in medical papers during clinical trials concerning antibiotics. They emphasized the value of transtracheal aspiration for the correct interpretation of the bacteriological flora in the tracheo-bronchial tree. The treatment was effective in 24 cases (19 good and 5 fair) over 31 (70 %). No toxic reaction was noted during this short term trial.

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
