Sir,

Phenethyl alcohol (2-phenylethanol; PEA, mol. wt 122.17) inhibits a range of Gram-negative bacteria, but not Pseudomonas fluorescens, at a concentration of 0.2% (2000 mg/L), whereas Gram-positive cocci, such as Staphylococcus aureus are inhibited at 0.5% w/v (5000 mg/L), with Enterococcus faecalis requiring still higher concentrations.1 PEA-containing media had earlier been suggested as a means of selecting for Gram-positive bacteria in mixed flora.2 Interestingly, Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium phlei were also inhibited at 0.2%, suggesting that . . .
