SUMMARY Tylosin at levels up to 100 ppm did not inhibit the germination of spores of Bacillus cereus and Clostridium species PA 3679 in brain heart infusion broth. Death of B. cereus in the presenee of Tylosin was correlated ehronologically with the start of exponential growth in Tylosin‐free control cultures. With PA 3679, the stage most susceptible to Tylosin occurred after germination but prior to exponential growth.
