Method of treating bacterial infections

摘要

A variety of substances are known which induce or alter host resistance to coccic and bacillic infections. It is also known that treatment is complicated by the ability of such organisms to develop resistance to antimicrobials. Numerous strains are known which elaborate enzymes in response to these drugs and thus remain insensitive to them. Hence there appears to be a never-ending demand for anti-coccic and anti-bacillic factors. Certain substituted benzoic acids are shown herein to render the host immune to such strains.
