Determination of the lowest dilution of aluminium acetate solution able toinhibit in vitro growth of organisms commonly found in chronic suppurativeotitis media

Burow's solution has been found to inhibit the in vitro growth of most comm only occurring bacteria found in the discharging ear. These organisms were inoculated onto appropriate agar plates that contained serial dilutions of aluminium acetate. Results show that the lowest dilution able to inhibit th e growth of these organisms lies between a 1:80 and a 1:160 dilution of Bur ow's solution.
