In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility studies using amikacin and ticarcillin, alone and in combination, were performed on 20 strains ofPseudomonas aeruginosa . All strains were susceptible to amikacin, and ticarcillin was active against 16 of the 20 strains. Enhanced anti-pseudomonas activity could be demonstrated with the combination of amikacin and ticarcillin.
