Eight dual antibiotic combinations were used to investigate possible
synergic effects against different isolates of Streptomyces somaliensis.
The antibiotic combinations that showed synergic activity against the
isolates were, in decreasing order, fusidic acid- rifampicin,
erythromycin-penicillin, erythromycin-fusidic acid,
rifampicin-sulphamethoxazole, fusidic acid-sulphamethoxazole and
erythromycin-rifampicin. Sulphamethoxazole-trimethoprim and rifampicin-
trimethoprim combinations were not synergic against any of the S.
somaliensis isolates tested.
