Many antibiotic spectra as well as physical properties and 

 references are given in the "Handbook of Toxicology, Vol. II, 

 Antibiotics" edited by W. S. Spector. 



The "Physicians' Desk Reference" is an annual publication 

 listing antibiotics and other medicines by brand name, by man-

 of a given condition, and an index Usting professional informa-
